Description
// Jimmy Watson Trophy Winner & James Halliday Trophy for Best Pinot Noir!
"Vibrant crimson with ruby hues. A complex mélange of raspberry, pomegranate and cherry blossom aromas. Densely structured red fruit supports a supple, lingering palate of dried herbs, aniseed, cherry and subtle oak spice. Fine whole bunch tannin lifts the wine, with unequivocal poise, tension, vibrancy and length." - Winemaker Notes
"Pinot from the close-planted vines (8300 per hectare) at Lowestoft planted in 1986; matured in French oak (35% new) for 10 months. Pure red plum and dark cherry fruits strut their stuff here with hints of five-spice, sous bois, dried raspberry, cranberry, black tea and vanilla, with light roast game further in the distance. Savoury and true with excellent fruit depth and purity, chalky tannins providing support. I’d expect this to cellar admirably." - 96 Points, Dave Brookes, Halliday Wine Companion
