James Halliday Australian Wine Companion 2016
A perfectly manicured pinot, as are all the wines made by Tom Carson. The bouquet is highly fragrant, with red fruits, rose petal and spice all in play; the palate has immaculate balance, the fruit purity retained even though there are savoury crosscuts that build texture and complexity,

A perfumed, delicate, pretty pinot that is enticing from the first sip. The nose shows an abundance of sweet red cherry and a touch of vanilla. The palate is light, soft and silky, with gentle support provided by the French oak. Delicious drinking now and over the next few years.

Adelaide Advertiser, 26 November 2016
Critics bandy around the term “pinosity” — in a word, all the allure of this much adored wine swirling in your glass — and it’s here in spades, a delightful fragrance that suggests native bush florals, exotic spices, even dripping forest leaves, which all seem to spill into your mouth with lightfooted fruits such as red cherry and red plum, not forgetting those wafting aromas again and again, carried silkily with just enough finishing tension to tie down lighter game dishes.

Hand-picked, whole berries and whole bunches, matured on lees in French barriques. Excellent clarity and hue; resonates exceptional winemaking choices, the bouquet ultra-fragrant, the palate silky and sibilant, the full array of red fruits led by strawberry and red cherries, but not stopping there. Next to Ashton Hills, King of the Adelaide Hills pinots.

Winemaker Notes

Delicate, fragrant, light to medium bodied but with deceptive power, firm tannins, and medium term ageing potential.
