This wine is pretty and autumnal, a fragrant concoction of cherries, plums, sumac, wild herbs and flowers, dried leaves and damp earth after a soft rain. This softness carries through to the palate, but there's also a laser-like line of acidity lifting the fruit into tart, crunchy territory. Tannins are fine grained, supporting and not overwhelming. A phenolic bitter note rears up at the finish, but overall this is a textural, food-friendly wine to drink now or until 2026. CHRISTINA PICKARD

Reflecting the vintage, this open-knit, bold Pinot has a boozy touch of kirsch to its sweet, velvety swathe of five spice-edged ripe plum, strawberry and red cherry fruit. Violet hints give way to tertiary mulchy, mushroom undertones while Millefeuille tannins and persistent acidity carry the flavours to a spicy, warming (alcohol) finish. One to drink now. A multi-clonal blend of three vineyards: Robinson, McIntyre and Garden, roughly a third each. Drinking Window 2020 - 2022

Product Description:

"Ruby red with strawberry, raspberry and red and black cherry fruit. Also hints of star anise, cloves and soy. On the palate the wine shows complex savoury fruit and spice and is long, textural and juicy. Bright, young fruit now will match well with crispy duck breast or a piece of wagyu beef with a wild mushroom sauce. Or cellar for five to eight years to achieve softness and savoury notes and extra complexity." -Winery
