94 / 100"There’s a wonderful vibrato and energy with primary red fruit aromas of boysenberry and crushed black cherry flesh, there’s a fine dried herb and earthy mineral combination then crushed red flowers and wood spices. Complex and youthful with a taut bouquet. Dry, taut, fruity, varietal and high energy on the palate, a youthful squeeze with acidity then contrasting core fruit flavours that reflect the bouquet. Firm tannins are in abundance, polished and new, acidity sets the backbone in place and oak layers through wood flavours and textures. A lovely example that just needs time. Best drinking from 2025 through 2035+."

Tasting Notes
Deep ruby hue. Aromas of dark plum, spice, black olive, woody herbs, cinnamon, violets, and earth. The palate has density and weight typical of Pinot Noirs from the Home vineyard, with emerging velvet fruit flavours and a persistent bright mineral finish. This is an unfiltered wine with small amounts of sediment. Please allow the bottle to stand and settle before pouring. Decanting will allow the maximum expression of aroma and purity of fruit to emerge.
The Black Estate Home Pinot Noir pairs undeniably well with fresh or smoked salmon.
