Awards and/or Press Quotes
Jancis Robinson
17/20. ‘Pinot-like in its transparency of colour and perfume. Chewy, sharply etched red fruit on a palate stretched as tightly as an artist’s canvas on a frame. All structure and tension at the moment, underlying complexity promising much more when this relaxes its grip a little. Long, dry, tobacco-leaf finish. Drink 2018-2025.’

Wine Advocate
89 Points. ‘Shows lots of Syrah meatiness and dark fruits as well as medium-bodied richness, good acidity and a balanced, clean, thoroughly enjoyable style… Another high quality red from this estate’ Drink 2016-2021.
