97 / 100"Bright, clear crimson; the bouquet is at once powerful yet eloquent varietal in precisely the same fashion as the palate; here black cherry and plum lead the way, red fruits bringing up the rear; it has exceptional intensity and drive, with fine tannins reminiscent of top-flight Burgundy."

"A statement of the clarity and power that is possible in the Coal River Valley just outside of Hobart, this packs powerful cherry and plum fruit, nicely dealt oak spice and clever fragrant complexity. The palate is succulent, tannins are silky smooth but dense and reliable. Very convincing pinot"

"Medium red/purple colour. Smoky oak is apparent first and foremost, while the wine is light and refined, delicate and yet intense in the mouth, with poise and precision, finesse and length. A lovely wine: pure and delicate, fine and pretty, but also has structure and backbone - as well as very good length."
- Huon Hooke
Tasting Notes
2013 Pinot Noir is ruby red with crimson tints at the rim. An extravagantly scented wine, with blueberry, cedar and chinese five spice notes on the nose. The palate is light on its feet, with a firm core of fruit and a layered texture, with tannins that are fine and soft, and build in presence through the palate.
