Distinctive notes of dark cherry, raspberry leaf, clove, and juniper offer a layered bouquet. The taste is defined by energetic acidity and firm, nutty tannins, which together provide backbone and depth. The most structured Pinot Noir in our range, it will offer longevity for those who choose to cellar.

“Incredible freshness and brightness to the suite of MRE pinots this vintage. Lovely.”
95 points – Jane Faulkner, Halliday
“The fruit has both a power and a freshness, the cedarwood oak influence is clear, and the array of twiggy herb notes well placed. It will be a better and more complex wine once it’s had a handful of years under its belt.”
93+ points – Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front
