Tasting Notes

Medium ruby-purple in color, the 2010 Pinot Noir displays slightly wild / gamey notes of red cherry, underbrush, earth and yeast extract over a faint perfume of lavender. The full bodied palate has very good concentration and a taut structure of firm grainy tannins and crisp acid with a long, layered finish. Drink it now through 2017+.

Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW, Wine Advocate (197), October 2011

Typical deep purple-crimson colour; equally typically intense and full-bodied palate, Otago's answer to Paringa Estate; pronounced tannins provide the structure for the dark plum/cherry fruit.
