94 points James Halliday (Wine Companion): "Hand-picked, bunch-sorted, 40% crushed and destemmed, 30% whole berry, 30% whole bunch, wild-fermented, 18 days on skins, matured in small and large French oak (5% new) for 11 months. Highly fragrant and pure in Mac Forbes style, with spicy elements emerging. Still youthful. Closure: Screwcap. 11% alcohol. Drink by 2028. (3/21/20)"

93 points and 'Editors' Choice,' Wine Enthusiast: "What a joy-inducing drop! Radiant cherry in color, it smells like a bowl full of just picked red berries, rhubarb and watermelon. Subtle spice, mineral and floral notes hang out underneath. All that juicy, pulpy fruit washes over the tongue, cinched by gentle tannins and lingering long after swallowing. A lightweight red for drinking slightly chilled. The epitome of modern, cool-climate Aussie Pinot. (Oct 2020)"
