The 2023 Bannockburn Vineyard Pinot Noir is vibrant, lithe, spicy, saturated with red fruit flavor and persistent through the finish. In the mouth, the tannins are chalky, fine and pliable, and they serve to shape the fruit as it flows across the palate. The acidity contributes a little race and pace to the palate, but it all works in concert. This is a delicious wine of personality and elegance but, most importantly, of place. 13.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap. (94) ERIN LARKIN, The Wine Advocate
Ripe and toasty with houjicha aromas adding dimension to the black fruit. The flavours continue apace on the powerful, sinewy and structured palate, framed by ripe, grippy tannins and an earthy, chocolaty finish. Very drying as the tannins build on the back. A winemaker's style of wine which needs some time to come together. STEPHEN WONG, The Real Review
Aromas of flowers, beans, brine and black cherries follow through to a medium body with fine and integrated tannins and a fresh and vivid finish. This needs some bottle age or at least air before serving. Best from 2026. Screw cap. JAMES SUCKLING
