Our go-to Pinot, new vintage. Amazing cloudy, almost guava like in its presentation, savoury red fruits, a touch of herbs/spice, fine tannin with savoury finish, good length, a little juicy/fleshy as well. Great drinking.

Awesome entry level Pinot. Tremendous value. Great uncomplicated Pinot from a ripping Yarra Valley vintage.

Vintage 2014 - good archetypical pinot, stable smell, good balance

A $20 Pinot at 9 yo. Singing. Yeh it's lost vitality and varietal nature. So what.

Nice balanced, savoury-ish, gentle tannin. Kept looking for the finish and grunt of the 1er but alas, not there. But at half the price I can't complain :)

Got better given some air, so go at it now with big glasses/decant if you can't wait. Beautiful mouthfeel with satin like texture with a just a gentle tug of tannin. Decent length to the wine too

Outstanding p/q. For the money, can’t think of a rival to the purity, depth of dark fruit, and grip. Balance and great value for the quality.
