Nose: Bright aromas of black cherry and strawberry with a slight spice and dust.
Palate: Ripe cherries , blackberries and ear thiness are supported by lingering, soft tannins. A good acid backbone provides structure and length. The vintage is a lottery, but the 2021 is very similar in style. The 2022 is a seductive Pinot, so young but so velvet soft, and it hits all the right notes, from ripe raspberries to gentle forest floor notes. Not complex but high on sex appeal.
92 pts - Ken Gargett (Wine Pilot)Granted that this is very young, coming from the 2022 vintage, but it is one of the most enjoyable reds from this West Australian producer that I have yet seen. Utterly delicious and fabulous value. It had seen a short period in oak, but it is the fruit that shines here. The wine is bright crimson in colour. We have notes of strawberries, raspberries, red apples and a hint of a herbal/briary note which takes it beyond a simple fruit bomb and gives it more structure and a touch of early complexity. The red fruit notes move to darker characters such as black cherries, as we proceed. Light to medium weight in structure, with a soft and creamy texture on the palate, there are silky tannins on a finish exhibiting decent length. Drink now and over the next two to three years. It may be young but it really is quite delicious. Love it.
