James Suckling, 93 Points 

"A fragrant nose of cherries, leafy notes, sweet spices, smoke and vanilla. Medium body with sleek tannins and bright acidity. Punchy and crunchy with freshness and a core of fruit on the mid-palate. Flavorful finish with excellent length. Drink now or hold." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"Mt Difficulty 2019 Pinot Noir opens with luscious dark red and black cherry. dried wild herb florals, with a touch of savory brown spice. As the wine dwells on the palate layers unfurl, revealing silken texture. Fine textured structure rises gracefully whilst being surrounded by a crunchy tang of acidity and a slight mocha note with some brown spice more vibrant red cherry notes on the long finish."
