  • 95+ – Dave Brookes, Halliday Wine Companion

Hailing from the Killara Farm vineyard in the Coal River Valley, this Pinot Noir reveals a beautiful mid-ruby depth in the glass.

The aromatic profile is wonderfully pure and expressive, defined by pristine red plum and dark cherry fruits accented by exotic spices, meadow flowers, and a fine tendril of struck flint. Earthy undertones of kicked leaf litter, savory charcuterie, and dried shiitake mushroom add a classic complexity, lifted by a touch of wild cranberry.

Evaluating the wine for the Halliday Wine Companion, critic Dave Brookes lauded it as "wonderfully pure and expressive with sleek and harmonious fruit," drawing particular attention to its uber-fine, powdery tannins and pitch-perfect mineral cadence. The wine exhibits spectacular tension and a long draw of flavor that fans out dramatically on its elegant, expansive exit.
