Stone fruits, tangerine and lime fruit. Leesy, nutty and touch of lactic. Acidity is pitch perfect and there’s fluid length to the finish. Real solid expression — 7 years ago

Very fresh and so easy to drink. Berries and a little fizz on the palate with a nose that is really close to Ashton Pinot Noir from Gentle Folk. Amazing wine. Must buy again. — 8 years ago

Got this at a steal because they were cleaning out some inventory. Lovely Bourdeaux-style blend with 50 CS, 25 CF, 17 Malbec, and 8 PV. Nice blend, drinking beautifully now. Good on its own or with food. — 6 years ago

Pretty rose gold color, interesting blend of Grenache, Mouved, and Counnoise (which I have never heard of). Fresh floral notes and red fruits on the nose, healthy acid, citrus. Little bit of bitterness on medium length/complexity finish. Very drinkable, though not remarkable. — 9 years ago

Apricot, white peach and green apple finish on the palette. Off dry with a slightly acidic note that lingers. I’m loving Lauren Ashton’s whites and rose! Great bottle for summer nights on the porch. — 6 years ago

9.1

Mid Ruby turning tawny. Spicy perfume, a hint of violet, and with time notes of Rhubarb. On the palate easy power and intensity with red cherry and plum flavours. I have always enjoyed this Pinot Noir from when I first tasted it at a restaurant in Canberra 7 or so years ago. — 6 years ago

9.4

Spicy Aromas with Cherry Sappiness and Earthy notes with a little savoury funk. Great intensity and length. Very well made in a brilliant terroir for this variety - on this occasion in the Adelaide Hills. As Richard Hemming MW an Englishman said “this is a Burgundy Slayer”! Tasted 57 weeks later with consistent notes - a Pinot more on the fuller side. Very easy to drink. — 8 years ago

Apart from the concern over the winemaking techniques of Ashton… This is a rather complete and delightful PV. Big, round, sweet, juicy, and long! How did they get to this completeness? I would like to think it was from a really optimal ripening season that brought that amazing Brix to the magic 24...or was it some added sugar ;) — 9 years ago
