Erin Larkin "2020 will go down as an exceptional year; the fruit was lush, the tannins plentiful and it was also low yielding. This has nicely supple fruit and plenty of flavour. The tannins wrap around the outside of the mouth, creating a lingering tail through the finish."

Erin Larkin "Fermented in stainless steel in the pursuit of purity, and left on fine lees prior to filtration and bottling in July. The acidity is coiled and taut and brilliant...read more

Stuart McCloskey “She’s tender but does deliver lots of flavour, along with creamy texture, and a thrill of acidity. Stone fruits meld to citrus – there’s spice and flint too. Super length...read more

Erin Larkin, RobertParker.com "It's gently reductive, pillowy and cushioned yet precise and tight. Gotta love that southern acidity. It is still coming together. It will be so much better in a year or more. I love this wine."

Stuart McCloskey "This is never going to win awards or huge scores however, this is crafted to provide vibrancy and bucket loads of fun (albeit with a touch of seriousness)...read more

Erin Larkin, RobertParker.com "Acid is prodigious, as usual with this cuvée, but in 2021, it only serves to further accentuate the crushed pistachio/rosewater, white peach and Golden Delicious apples in the mouth...my suggestion would be to hold this for several years. Your patience will be amply rewarded."

Chris Coulter, Winemaker "Adelaide Hills Gamay. Bright Cherry red, aromas and flavours of red fruit, white pepper and obvious whole bunch all supported by crunchy acidity and a subtle structure that provides length and weight."

Jeni Port, Wine Companion “Rests easy with a sweet plummy approachability that is very easy to enjoy right now. Brilliant, bright cherry-red hues. The scent suggests everything summery from strawberry, cherry and wild raspberry to red licorice and spice...so fresh and keen and ready to go.”

Jeni Port, Wine Companion “ Retains the essence of sangiovese's black-cherry-fruited and aniseed vibrancy with the added addition of sweet plummy, raspberry freshness and vigour. There's a whole lot of energy here in unison with chocolate...read more

Stuart McCloskey “The flavours saturate the palate – flint and chalky characteristics expand. It’s clearly full of life and energy - wonderful length too. This really has that something extra and yet again provides incredible value for money...read more

Ned Goodwin MW, Wine Companion “The oak-derived tannins are still very present, yet the compact, mid-weighted palate boasts a thrust of fruit, parry of structure and considerable class. Truffled nougatine, marzipan and macadamia. Nectarine and white peach, too...read more
