Critic reviews
"The 2022 Pinot Noir leads with black cherry and star anise, strawberry top and a hint of pomegranate molasses. The wine is light and chalky, with attractive clarity in the glass and brilliant length through the finish. There is a dusting of cocoa and licorice at the edges of the aromas. It's a beautiful wine, one that ages slowly and gracefully over the decades. The tannins here are grippy and yet pulverized in structure; they serve to cup and cradle the fruit, never intrude but forever guiding. About 30% whole clusters were used in the ferment. 13.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap."

"The 2022 Pinot Noir feels indulgent with rich flavors, creamy textures and good length. This is well balanced with layers of ripe fruit and well-integrated festive spices. Black and red cherry, plum and dark chocolate develop on the finish."
Rebecca Gibb, July 2025, Vinous.com
"Strawberries, flint, caramel, minerals and terra-cotta character, as well as fresh tea. Medium-bodied, this has crunchy fruit, crushed flowers and a fine and polished finish. Delicate and delicious with some weight. From organically grown grapes. Old vines planted in 1983. Drink now. Screw cap."

"Pale garnet. Oak is still slightly in evidence. Pretty wine even if without a massive mid palate at this stage of its evolution. Not yet released."

"Richly fruited yet finely structured. The nose is intense and brooding, with dark cherry, chocolate, star anise, clove, oak spice and dried rose petals. The palate is smooth and ripe, with supple tannins and generous fruit – crushed dark plum, cherry, liquorice root and earth – lifted by fresh acidity. Very youthful, but with all the right components – it just needs some time to settle."
