"Aromas of red cherries, sweet paprika, rosemary and violet. Medium- to full-bodied with velvety tannins. Fresh on the palate with mineral undertones. Berry character. Sustainable. From organically grown grapes." James Suckling
19/20 Points - Candice Chow, Raymon Chan Wine Reviews

"Moderately deep purple with a ruby hue, lighter on the rim. This has an enticing sweet bouquet with penetrating aromas of black cherry, ripe strawberry, thyme, mint, earthy clay, vanilla and spice. Medium-full bodied, aromas of black cherry and strawberry entwined with thyme, spearmint and an amalgam of spice, earthy clay nuance linger with fine-grained tannin extraction to a savoury finish. The wine has a silky framework supported by a lacy acid tang; earthy nuance and texture broaden the palate and leave a textural finish. This Pinot Noir is well-made and well-balanced, with attractive aromatics and structure. Match with lamb and duck over the next 5+ years. Handpicked fruit from Wrekin Vineyard, fermented in small batches to 13.5% alc, aged in French oak barrels for 10 months. Unfiltered. Organic certified." Candice Chow
 
An intriguing assortment of black plum and bottled cherry fruits with truffle, spice and savoury oak char.
The palate is defined by its elegance, silky texture and supple tannin structure. The concentrated layers of fruit, savoury and spice flavours linger on the firm finish.
