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
Powerful, tense, boney structure. Will be long lived. — 7 years ago
Tasted at NZ cellar Pinot tasting. Light, savoury with nice acidity. Ted Lemon from Littorai is the consultant winemaker. — 9 years ago

This rocks the casbah big time. Tightly coiled red and black fruits. Expansive tannin profile. — 10 years ago
Excellent example of new wave Aussie Chardonnay. Mac nails it this vintage. Racy (natural) acidity, some matchstick flintiness and a sneaky richness that keeps it from being severe. Most heard comment at the in-store (from peeps used to the Cali version): this is really Chardonnay? — 11 years ago
Fabulous. Montrachet like (just needs a slightly softer finish). — 12 years ago
Not my cup of tea today but a nice wine nonetheless. — 5 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
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
Bought at local wine store in the Mosaic. Surprisingly golden color for a pinot, with a subtly must no nose. A quiet attack leads to a tart but balanced midpalete which is rounded out by a yeasty finish. One of my favorite Pinot Gris. — 9 years ago
Soft and sparkly, cherry pips. Bright, light and fine. — 10 years ago
Rocking Yarra Pinot! Pure, plenty of bite, so elegant with bags of personality. Amazing — 11 years ago
Good for a Pinot — 13 years ago
Between Applejack and Sexton, this displays strawberries all day, with twists of mushroom funk, sandalwood spice, and red cherries. Good — 6 years ago
Glorious nose. Full, broad palate. Stone fruit, lees, dried apple, grapefruit and a savoury, flinty element. — 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
Lovely earthy nose, nice acidity, and beautiful fruit. To keep — 9 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
Oily, medium bodied, hint of oak but not overpowering — 10 years ago
Great Cabernet with a smooth finish. Had the 2012 — 10 years ago

Wow. Big, complex, delicious. 2004 — 13 years ago

More delicate and filigree than Wombat. Traditional chablis profile - citrus, some mineral and spice from oak. Linear and focused with strong acid spine. — 5 years ago
