Deep Crimson with reddish purple rim. Lovely complex perfume of Black Cherries Earth Stalks Twigs and Light Pepper from partial or full whole bunch ferment I suspect. Palate of cherries with earthy notes of Medium Intensity. This is their less expensive General Cuvée in contrast to their individual Vineyard Cuvees like Sexton Applejack Tarraford etc. From the much lauded 2015 vintage in the Yarra. 2015 seems to be one of those great world wide vintages like 1990. Great in most parts of Australia and New Zealand. Also in Bordeaux Burgundy and France generally it appears. Mediterranean countries. Not sure about North or South America?

Apr 20th, 2017Cracking wine this- alpine strawberries, red cherry, white pepper, brown spice, orange zest, slight florals and a herbal/cactus thing that provides plenty of interest. Light to medium bodied in the palate and rather savoury in its delivery. Superb drinking

JL Australian tasting 3/30/17. $25.50. small production naturally made. Bright red fruit with hints of earth. Good balance and medium finish. Not bad for money. 14% ABV.

Mar 30th, 2017Translucent garnet color and light bodied. Red cherry, white pepper and earth notes with a short finish. On first opening the alcohol notes are overpowering and the wine needs time to open up. Once opened up, this is a very enjoyable and easy drinking Pinot.

Mar 12th, 2017Delightful little Pinot number. Fresh and flavorsome, strawberry tones with light tannins.

Jan 22nd, 2017Heard a lot of amazing reviews about this, tiny bit of a let down. Literally like ducking your beak into a punnet of strawberries
