Low acid, unusually fruity, with a decent soft tannins finish. Interesting pinot and would buy again. — 2 years ago

I had this wine about 2 weeks ago and it wasn’t listed here, it is now. It was great, low acid, decent finish. Chambos are well suited to the Shoalhaven due to their tolerance to various fungal diseases. — 3 years ago

Good plum on the nose, dryest finish in living memory, does linger for a bit. Very different but I don't mind it. — 5 years ago

Don’t often drink Malbec, looked for something a bit lighter at Star of Greece in Willunga. Typical McLV on the nose, dry up front medium tannin finish. I’ll be buying some — 3 years ago

Really struggle to find a pinot with a pH over 6, but this one is a box ticker. Soft, low acid, mild tannins and a decent finish. The Tasmanians could learn a lot from this drop instead of producing the garbage they produce. Will buy again. — 5 years ago

Visited the cellar door last weekend, this wasn’t on the tasting menu but bought 2 bottles on trust. Have had good drops from the before, Shiraz, petit Verdot. Glad I did. Blackberry, licorice, plum up front, long tanniny finish. I’ll be buying more. — 3 years ago

Medium light fruit up front but with a pleasantly surprising dry tannin finish. I’d have again. — 3 years ago

9.0

I think this is the holy grail of sub $20 pinots. Low on the acid (take note Tasmanian vignerons), soft, lingering finish, and better on the 2nd night. — 5 years ago
