This is the fifteenth vintage from this amazing 21-acre terroir of rolling gentle slopes which tens of millions of years ago used to be ancient dunes, sandy beaches and sea bed. This sandy vineyard site is well-exposed to copious sunshine and wind all season long, providing us with one of our most perfumed, elegant, and ethereal Pinot Noirs. This is whole-cluster Pinot Noir at its finest.


93/100 - Highlighted with scents of sweet baking spices and milk chocolate, this brings ripe red-berry fruit along with drying minerals. The flavors dive deeply down through the palate, and the mineral-soaked finish lingers in the throat a long time. Give this another year or two of bottle age for a better drinking window. - Josh Raynolds, Vinous 

17/20 - Bright pale crimson. Savoury nose with fine tannins. Complete with firm red-cherry notes. You could drink this now but there is no hurry. Lots of drive! - Jancis Robinson 

92+/100 - The 2018 Pinot Noir Silice Vineyard has broody aromas of tar and dark fruits on the nose with touches of dried herbs and flowers. The medium-bodied palate is firm and fresh, its dark fruits still youthfully coiled. Give it a couple years in bottle. - Erin Brooks, Wine Advocate 

93/100 - Highlighted with scents of sweet baking spices and milk chocolate, this brings ripe red-berry fruit along with drying minerals. The flavors dive deeply down through the palate, and the mineral-soaked finish lingers in the throat a long time. Give this another year or two of bottle age for a better drinking window. - Paul Gregutt, Wine Enthusiast

94/100 - Instantly appealing Pinot. Complex and powerfully fragrant with violets, blackcurrants and purple cherries, as well as fresh wild herbs and swirling spices. Then, a smooth, succulent feel to the palate follows with such sleek, fine tannins and a supple, silky run to the finish. Such a consistent wine. Drink or hold. - James Suckling 

 


Dark ruby red in colour. Lots of red and black cherry fruit and some spice, providing a smooth texture. This wine is ripe, round and velvety, with the signature acidity and tannins of this vintage.
