| The 2006 Pinot Noir was aged for five months in 80% new
French oak. Aromas of cherry, strawberry, and rhubarb are
enticing, leading to a smooth‐textured wine with plenty of
succulent fruit, good balance, and grip. Drink it over the next
six years. -Robert Parker
Generous plum and cherry fruit; supple and smooth; as yet, not especially complex, but should develop complexity. -James Halliday
Light red. Smoky raspberry and cherry aromas are perked up by bright minerality and Asian spices. Deeper cherry and bitter chocolate on the chewy, deep palate. The spicy character repeats on the long, juicy finish. I find more sweetness and suavity here than in many Tasmanian pinots, which can be a bit screechy. -Stephen Tanzer
Lithe and light on its feet, with loamy overtones to the blackberry flavors, persisting gently. Drink now through 2009. 3,000 cases made. -Wine Spectator |
