2022 Curly Flat Estate Pinot Noir

"This wine delivers ample reason for intrigue. Red cherries, musk, root spices and warming notes of shiitake mushrooms, dashi and undergrowth, conferring depth and ample, medium-bodied complexity. The tannins are chewy and satisfying, yet in need of resolution. Spicy and firm. This stands to age well. Drinkable now, but best from 2026." 95 Points, Ned Goodwin MW, jamessucking.com

“I like the stringiness of this, the tension, the fruit, the length. It’s real pinot. It feels as though it’s desperate to rush forward but it holds itself back until it gets to the finish, where it runs. It has a minerally aspect, a sour ripeness, a thread of woodsmoke, a garni of herbs. It will cellar beautifully. It’s cool, ripe, savoury, seamless & long.” 95 points, Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front
