Strawberry-rhubarb flavours are fresh and vibrant, with notes of tomato leaf and toasted walnut. Sleek and juicy on the finish, finishing with a sense of polish. Drink now through 2027.

Dense, rich pinot noir with sweet plum, dark berry, floral, violet, spice, anise and nutty oak flavours. Intense, flavoursome wine that is deliciously accessible now that has a promising future. The wine has a perfect balance of fruit sweetness and ripe tannins. It is long and layered with impressive complexity.

A terrific follow-up to the outstanding 2014, this has a neat interplay of power and silky elegance that gets to the core of great pinot noir. Plenty of brambly and spicy ripe red cherries and plums, then there's a silky flow of tannins that builds and expands in impressive style. An extremely smart pinot noir. Drink now and for some years to come.
