Of around 15 or so wines tasted over the last weekend on the Mornington Peninsula Victoria, this was the standout. Mid Gold at 12 years of age. Funky leesy aromas with notes of almond meal, grilled nuts in general. On the palate stone fruit, white peach and great length and intensity. Would give most Premier Crus and the odd Grand Cru a run for their money. Tried to buy a dozen but ended up this was their last bottle at the winery. 🙁 — 7 years ago

As fresh and bursting with tropical flavour as any wine could get, you can easily imagine having this as a late morning aperitif in a hot climate with the sun cracking the flags. Absolutely divine, with a pleasingly long finish. A memorable wine. — 7 years ago

A lovely pinot, wonderful balance between fruit and savoury. Slightly smokey characteristics. Not a lot of length but very pleasant wine. 2013 vintage consumed January 2017. — 7 years ago

Pinot from wine tasting at hi times!! Amazing!! Very good! Forgot the rest! $50. Strong perfumed aroma, bright and juicy palate, beautiful balance. Such a delicate balance. — 7 years ago
Hot without being stewed. Nose of cream corn and savoury herbs. — 7 years ago
Slightly conflicted because this is a very well made wine, but doesn't have that freshness and minerality that I really wanted. Cherries, raspberries, hint of clove, and some vanilla from the new oak. Probably a little whole bunch and semi carbonic too. Would probably rate it even higher if I could get over my own cru Beaujolais expectations 👍🏻 — 7 years ago

Great Aussie Pinot Noir from Mornington Peninsula. On the noise you get great dark cherries pepper and olive notes. On the palate it is soft tannins and long finish. — 7 years ago

A new producer to me as in Garagiste from the Mornington Peninsula. Light to medium Ruby. Aromatic red fruits of Strawberry and Cranberry with a stalky whole bunch note. Fresh and young. Light in colour but medium intensity with medium dry tannins. Great QPR at $25 a bottle. Not for long keeping I would say. Had another one 71 weeks later on 17th November 2021 with consistent notes. Excellent value. — 4 years ago
