"Block 1 stands forward as a wine that adds further dimension to the Colmar pinot noir range. Its shapely form combines both black cherries, Assam tea and wild strawberries and holds its oak regime well. Long pepper, rosella and tobacco pouch in its stride. Fruit is focused and delivers in truck loads, with a slippery and yet laser-like drive along the palate. Moreish and compelling, vintage after vintage. 94 points." Shanteh Wale, Halliday

"Graceful power adorns this Block 1 Pinot Noir ... But its silky feels and elegant shape ensured that this tasting turned into a drinking. Absolutely glorious, embrace this with two hands …Red fruits drive through the core with strawberries and a suggestion of plums with a fine rub of exotic spices to keep things moving … but the curvaceous power is what has me fixated. A wonderful expression of Pinot Noir from the Orange region. 95 points." Steve Leszczynski, QWine.
