Stonier Reserve Pinot Noir 2025 - In Bond

Campbell Mattinson, Wine Front “Grown on the 1982 plantings. Bottled under (DIAM) cork. This is a pretty special wine. I mean, wow. The tannin structure and the underlying, undergrowth-driven complexity are the bomb. It’s all driven by fresh, ripe, cherry-plum fruit but the rounds of pepper-and-leaf savouriness come in layers and the finish really does set sail for history. this wine is not for opening now, it needs time, but its quality is fundamentally elite.”

Jane Faulkner, Halliday.com  “Made from the original plantings from ’82 with a lot of vineyard work latterly to get these old vines back into optimum condition. It’s starting to show. There’s a density here without it being a weighty wine, with exceptional tannin structure the key. Aromas and flavours marry well. The palate is supple and plush, with the acidity juicy and buoyant. Bravo.”

Melissa Moore, The Real Review "Deep ruby, a little reserved on the nose initially, opening up in the glass to a ripeness of soused plums and cherry clafoutis, wood spice and petrichor dust, a note of forest fungi and game meats. The palate is plush and fruit-rich, with a depth that belies its light-bodied frame, a fine crest of acidity and silken tannins holding through a lingering cherry pip finish. Persistent and complex, and still unfurling in the glass."
