95 / 100""I really like where the Bannockburn wines are at right now. I guess that you’d call this light but its length and general insistence is right up there. Indeed over the course of 24 hours this just built and expanded in the most impressive of ways. It’s a minerally pinot noir, smoky and spicy, with red cherried flavour run through with herbs and twigs and undergrowth. In its infancy, now, it somehow manages to be quite remarkably complex; it will only add from here. Certainly it’s light but this is an outstanding pinot noir.""

"From vines planted 1976-2007 on conventional and close plantings; primarily MV6, wild fermented with 20% whole bunch, including some carbonic maceration. The bouquet is at once very expressive and complex with purple and red berries, and high-toned Asian spices, the palate following in the footprints of the bouquet and first-up savoury fruits."

"Medium-light colour with a tinge of purple, and there are lovely fivespice and dried herb aromas, some sousbois, some earthiness, all very complex. Toasty/smoky oak adds extra savouriness. The wine is rich and full in the mouth with a core of fruit sweetness and an enveloping web of fine, silky tannins. Lovely wine: it has a real deliciousness to it."

Tasting Notes
Bannockburn Pinot Noir 2022 is an exceptional wine that is worth trying.
The 2022 vintage has been carefully crafted to offer a perfect balance of flavors, aromas, and textures. You can expect a bright ruby red color with aromas of black cherry, raspberry, and subtle hints of spice. On the palate, it is full-bodied, elegant, and complex, with flavors of black fruit, leather, and oak.
It pairs well with a wide range of dishes, including roasted meats, grilled vegetables, and cheese platters. It is also a great wine to enjoy on its own, as it is a true representation of the unique terroir of Bannockburn.
