Critics Ratings

'Winemaker Hannes Storm believes that the 2001 Pinot Noir is the best vintage in recent years. It was the first to use only Dijon clones. It has an earthy, slightly mushroom-scented bouquet with smudged red berry fruit and peaty scents. The palate has quite pointed acidity, citric in the mouth with bright, brambly red fruit and a taut, peppery finish that is just turning the corner.' - Neal Martin, Wine Advocate (October 2014), 90/100

'best to date' set to be pipped by extraordinary 01, lifted by attention to detail, near-fanatical experimentation. World class, with perfume seldom seen outside Burgundy (spectrum moves through smoked meat, game, wood spice)' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2003, 4.5*
