96 points - "The '22 vintage wasn’t particularly easy, but the intent and meticulous attention of viticulturists shines bright in the best wines. The '22 is on fire, with cherry compote, blue plum skin and rhubarb stem. The selected 25% whole bunch adds just the right amount of sinewy, woodsy herbs backed by savoury potting clay and tree bark. Red lingonberries pop like caviar on the mid-palate and the staying power of graceful but astute tannins is why this wine will age like a dream. This is built for almost any medium rare meat you can throw at it – lamb, game or grass-fed beef. It's a wine for the very best crystal and only the best of friends for company. Stunning." - Shanteh Wale (Halliday Wine Companion)

94 points - "Strawberries, flint, caramel, minerals and terra-cotta character, as well as fresh tea. Medium-bodied, this has crunchy fruit, crushed flowers and a fine and polished finish. Delicate and delicious with some weight. From organically grown grapes. Old vines planted in 1983. Drink now. Screw cap." - JamesSuckling.com

93+ points - "The 2022 Pinot Noir leads with black cherry and star anise, strawberry top and a hint of pomegranate molasses. The wine is light and chalky, with attractive clarity in the glass and brilliant length through the finish. There is a dusting of cocoa and licorice at the edges of the aromas. It's a beautiful wine, one that ages slowly and gracefully over the decades. The tannins here are grippy and yet pulverized in structure; they serve to cup and cradle the fruit, never intrude but forever guiding. About 30% whole clusters were used in the ferment. 13.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap." - Erin Larkin (The Wine Advocate)

93 points - "Blackberry, cola and dark smoky notes reluctantly emerge on the nose of this young, closed wine. The palate is equally restrained; the fairly concentrated dark fruit only appearing towards the back as it rises above the serious, chocolaty tannins and wood. Compact, really quite oaky and backward, this does have sneaky length and under the fine structure is plenty of promise and perfume. Give it a couple of years in the cellar to integrate, and watch it bloom." - Stephen Wong (The Real Review)

91+ points - "This is heavier on oak than you’d like or expect it to be but when it settles down, and in, it will be complex and lovely. Strawberries, deep black cherries, chicory, cedarwood and peppercorn notes blend into violets, roasted meats and toasted spices. There’s a chunkiness to the tannin and a general impression of substance. It’s needs a bit of a sleep." - Campbell Mattinson (The Wine Front)

A bright perfumed, supple expression of Marlborough pinot noir from clay hill slopes. The fruit is supported by bright florals of rose and violets with crunchy red berry fruit and dried herb notes. The palate is succulent with alluring red cherry, brown spices and silky fine boned tannins. This wine has all the makings of a long lived Marlborough pinot noir and matches perfectly with duck, red meats (particularly venison and lamb), and mushroom dishes.
