An old favourite Pinot Noir chosen off the Wine List at Blowfish Broadbeach. Red fruits and confectionery. A lovely volume to the medium weight palate with excellent mouthfeel - supple tannins. Always enjoyable - from the Adelaide Hills.

Spicy Aromas with Cherry Sappiness and Earthy notes with a little savoury funk. Great intensity and length. Very well made in a brilliant terroir for this variety - on this occasion in the Adelaide Hills. As Richard Hemming MW an Englishman said “this is a Burgundy Slayer”! Tasted 57 weeks later with consistent notes - a Pinot more on the fuller side. Very easy to drink.

The ideal Pinot Noir. Light to medium bodied and easy to drink with or without food. An interesting nose of budded roses and kiwi fruit. Served cool or at room temp.

Enticing aromatic nose of plums cherries berries and a touch of sap. A lovely harmonious palate showing the same descriptors. Medium intensity with fluid supple tannins. Could cellar for a few more years if desired but great right now. Very easy to drink.

2010 vintage. Fragrant perfume, enticing cherry notes. Lovely mouth filling, luscious , balanced Pinot - on the Fruit size. Not z long term prospect but bottom line delicious. Tasted again on 3 July 2016. Lush and full. A top quality Pinot whichever way you cut it confirming Adelaide Hills as a premium region forPinot Noir.
