Sour cherry, light body, a little French barrel spice, tea leaf and med+ acid. Lean, lean, lean. Decent for cheap.

Really solid Pinot Noir for the price. A bit more depth, and dare I say earthiness than the usual lower priced Aussie Pinot.

Consistent across the vintages. Good bang for buck. Nice balance of fruit and acid.

Nice fleshy strawberry fruit, very ripe without being jammy or overly alcoholic, with a little sousbois and leather in the mix. Very pleasant.

Really nice, cherry, Pinot funk. Super light bodied. Easy drinking.

Whoa! So nice, so cheap. The best entry-level red Burgundy you can get...from Australia.

Was hoping for a $10 delight on this Pinot and it almost delivered. Comes across as fresh. Decent which is all you can ask for at this price point...

Bright fruit & good acidity. Light but quite nice with pork tenderloin for the price ($17).

No real notes. First game of the football (soccer, mind you) European championship game.
Very savory pinot, some black tea, strawberry and marmite (??!) notes on the nose. The palate is showing good acid drive, some strawberry notes but the same yeasty, salty notes too. There is a bit of tannins in the rear and a good finish with that drying layer and some meaty and juicy touches. I had some goat cheese alobg with it and it helped a lot. Probably bumping the grade a 0,2 or 0,3 point up.
