2nd go round on this guy. A light garnet in color. Very subtle nose. A lighter style Pinot that was very complimentary to our salmon. More of a delightful experience the second time around. — 6 years ago

Fabulous. Montrachet like (just needs a slightly softer finish). — 12 years ago
Good mid palate weight and purity. Red sweet raspberries get swamped in grippy acid and savoury notes. excellent balance. Good but not great p/q — 4 years ago
A good Pinot.

Perfumed berries on the nose. Light berries (raspberry, strawberry) come to the fore in a gentle way but with enough structure and length ensuring the flavour doesn't dissipate. Really nice. — 9 years ago
Great example of Yarra Pinot & proof that Aus can craft great examples from the right cool terroirs. More generous that Burgundy but nonetheless elegant and varietally pure, this Pinot still retains nice ripe tannins as it ages gracefully. — 9 years ago

On the improve perhaps? Really lovely. Acid ingrained with other phenolic and textural elements. Fine yet generous in flavour. Ripe stone fruit and the kernel. First class. 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽 — 6 years ago
Awesome entry level Pinot. Tremendous value. Great uncomplicated Pinot from a ripping Yarra Valley vintage. — 7 years ago
Fantastic. Got this bottle last fall at the winery - considered one of the very best in Yarra Valley. Celebrating our son's 21st birthday and this was SO worthy. Huge fruit up front - especially for a 2008 and a beautiful dry finish. Splash of Viognier makes for an amazing nose. — 8 years ago

Beautiful Syrah! Lots of different types of layers on the nose and palate. Spice, hint of earth and bright fresh berries on the nose. Palate is full of character and life, with a smooth finish. Thanks @Jake Perez ! — 9 years ago
Rocking Yarra Pinot! Pure, plenty of bite, so elegant with bags of personality. Amazing — 11 years ago

It’s been a while between Curly pinots. Always a joy to open one, with fond memories attached along with the pleasure of the wine itself. Despite five years from vintage, this is still young and stern but elegant. Clear lines and structure, a spicy, cedary top note amongst red fruit and firm but soft tannins. Clean, I’d call it, plus whole bunch characters. Quality pinot undoubtedly, that should improve even more. — 3 years ago
