There’s presence to the palate here and yet in flavour profile terms it feels and tastes very Upper Yarra. It’s alive with twig, spice and herb notes but then it’s also riven with pure, satiny, red and black cherry flavours, and it also has that undergrowth-forest-wood aspect that is both beguiling and so characteristic of good pinot. Cedarwood oak plays noticeable role too, as a positive, and the tannin is a masterclass; not too much, not too little, threaded intricately, gently smoky. As a young wine this release is already putting on a show but, even so, it feels built to last, and to improve. However you take it, this is a truly beautiful wine. (95+) CAMPBELL MATTINSON, The Wine Front
From 28 rows of pinot planted on a block that is west facing and sloping to the south. 15% whole bunches. A light, bright cherry red. Fragrant with brambly fruits, blood orange, rose petals and a little spice. It's fragrant in the mouth, too, with fine-grained and gently chewy tannins giving the wine its shape and structure. A discreet and classy wine that should age effortlessly over the next few years. (97) PHILIP RICH, Halliday Wine Companion
Hoddles Creek Estate, led by Franco d'Anna, has quietly become one of the Yarra Valley’s most reliable sources of high-quality Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, particularly when it comes to value. Drawing on estate vineyards in the cooler Upper Yarra, the focus is firmly on meticulous farming and a restrained, detail-driven approach in the winery, allowing site and season to shine through. The wines are consistently pure, balanced and expressive, often outperforming far more expensive counterparts—making them something of an insider’s secret in the region.
