"Strawberry patch, redcurrant and sour cherries. Plum puff, shiso leaf and pickled watermelon rind. Chewy tannins and determined mid-palate weight. Goji berry and Asian dried plum. Star anise, paprika and sumac. Loaded with flavour and great length. Plenty of detail." - 95 points, Shanteh Wale
"… a delightfully nuanced pinot noir that merits being enjoyed on a special occasion, and with some Chinese roast duck if you can find some. There is lots of complexity on the palate, with French oak playing a support role, but this is seamless and deliciously varietal." - Winsor Dobbin, Ciao Magazine
"Pale garnet in colour, there are attractive Pinot Noir aromas. Some undergrowth, red fruits, stemmy notes, dry herbs, delicatessen meats and raspberries. Fresh acidity through to a lovely lingering finish. Florals and cherries emerge more on the palate. Very appealing, this has four to eight years ahead. 93." - Ken Gargett, Winepilot.
"Sophistication, complexity, elegance and class. That about sums up this Pinot Noir from Colmar Estate." - Tony Peters, Words from a Wine Glass.
"Medium deep ruby. Heady, deep and spiced. Plenty of red fruits: Cherries, strawberries and raspberries. Hints of vanilla from the oak, stalky spice, dried rose petals, turned earth, ganache and rooibos tea ... Presence and structure. Depth of fruit peeling back layers. 93 points." - Regan Drew, Vinonotebook
