2021 Riposte The Dagger Pinot Noir
95 points
"A wine to commemorate Tim Knappstein's 60th vintage. The complete package here, immediately appealing and bright. Wrapped in perfectly ripe cherry fruits, bramble, plum, violet and dried herbs. Beautifully detailed, assisted by integrated oak, crunchy acid bite and leafy, savoury tannins. Impressive depth." - Jeni Port (Halliday Wine Companion)

95 points
"You've got to love a wine with aromas that strike you with as much personality as this. Crushed blueberry, with handfuls of kitchen herbs, and a distinctive dark-berried sweet spot on the palate, textured up with pith and lightly puckery tannins. Heaps of energy, and just a little twist of darker amaro bitters to finish. Smashing." - Tony Love (Halliday Wine Companion)

96 points
"Sourced from old, dry-grown vines in Blewitt Springs; hand-picked, wild yeast fermented and basket-pressed before a brief stay in used French oak. Neither fined nor filtered; gloriously spicy red fruits create the same magic as young, high-quality pinot noir. Truly delectable." - James Halliday (The Weekend Australian)

95 points
"Fairbank shows the other side of the syrah coin, the plummy, juicy, sweet-fruited side that offers excellent early drinking, with the promise of some medium-term ageing. Brilliant purple hues, bright, jubey, cassis, plum and concentrated spice. Balance, texture and good length on display, together with some signature bush mint. It's all here." - Jeni Port (Halliday Wine Companion)

95 points
"This trio has come together well to create a savoury, buoyant style. A core of tangy-tart-ripe fruit shines through with rose petal and red licorice aromatics. Layered up with squid ink, mace and patchouli working across the medium-bodied palate, grainy tannins in tow." - Jane Faulkner (Halliday Wine Companion)

95 points
"40/32/28% nero d'avola/durif/shiraz. From one of the state's more thoughtful winemakers, comes a complex blend of fruit sourcing and winemaking. Each grape was treated separately to make this beaut wine. The price belies the work and the wow factor achieved. Vibrant blueberry, black cherry, plum, anise, earth and spice take the lead, to be enhanced by sweet, vanillin oak. Finishes long and supple with an ongoing thread of rosemary." - Jeni Port (Halliday Wine Companion)
