Wine Merchant Magazine Top 100, 2023. Jancisrobinson.com, 2023, 17: "Very pale, even for Pinot, and beautifully bright. Smells of crushed hawthorn berries and roses in the rain. Lucent fruit, holding a bruise-red fragility. Blood orange bleeds raspberries, red apple skin and cinnamon. Limpid tannins. Ironstone minerality. If garnet were a liquid, surely this is what it would taste like" Wine Merchant Magazine, 2022, Tried and Tested: "The Bellarine peninsula near Geelong in Victoria has a cool maritime climate that, on paper, suits Pinot Noir and the proof is right here in the bottle. There's an agreeable earthiness as well as gentle plumminess and a hint of spice. The kind of wine you could confidently pour for even the pickiest Pinot perfectionist."
