Tasting Notes

100% Pinot Noir. Red berry fruits are balanced by a good concentration of fine, silky tannins and enough acidity to give this wine a long and persistent finish.

Critical Reviews

Glistening red. Lively aromas of red currant, raspberry and allspice, along with a floral topnote. Light-bodied and energetic in the mouth, offering spice-tinged red berry and rose pastille flavors and a refreshingly bitter blood orange flourish. Shows very good persistence and lingering spiciness on the finish, which is framed by discreet, even tannins. 20% new French oak. ~91 Vinous Media

Vibrant and fruity, this Tassie Pinot gives fresh, crunchy vibes. Strawberries and cherries lead with some stalk, spice and wet stone minerals at the back. Youthful and light-bodied, the fleshy, tart red cherry fruit adds some texture, tugged gently by spicy tannins. The slightly astringent finish falls away quickly. A modern Pinot for drinking now. Christina Pickard. ~90 Wine Enthusiast

Glossy, creamy raspberry and strawberry, alongside a distinctive forest floor character and a touch of cep mushroom. ~90 Decanter
