Color: A clear crimson with youthful purple hues.
Palate: Bright red fruits combine with hints of darker plums and cherry with an earthy, gamey mid palate with hints of mushroom and a spicy finish of soft tannins.
Nose: A vibrant lifted nose of black cherry and strawberry complemented by spicy vanillin French oak.Made by James Kellie at Harewood, the fruit coming from the highest vineyard around Pemberton in the Great Southern (750m). No surprise then that the wine’s bright acidity, delicacy and purity suggest cool climate, with slightly tart cherries and strawberries doing the taking, backed by polished French oak and forest floor notes. The texture is silky smooth, and the finish long. On the light side, with more in the tank. 93 points. BUY.
92 pts - Ken Gargett (Wine Pilot)Pinot Noir from the Denmark sub-region in the Great Southern district in Western Australia, is not one’s first thought when it comes to wines from there, but there is no doubt that the wines have been impressing more and more in recent years. From a single vineyard, maturation was for ten months in a mix of new and older French oak and the wine was bottled unfined and unfiltered. A gleaming crimson hue, there are savoury notes here. On the nose, we have aromas weaving through cherries, mushrooms, raspberries, warm earth and bay leaves. A fine line of acidity runs the length through to sleek tannins. This is a juicy style with decent length. Enjoy it over the next four to six years.
