A very attractive and fresh, red-cherry nose with subtle, spicy complexity and sous-bois, forest aromas. The palate has a lightly herb-laced core of fresh red cherries and holds an enduring sense of freshness into the finish. Drink or hold. Screw cap. 94 points

Wild herbs and an attractively fresh array of wild-cherry aromas, leading to a fresh and crisply detailed palate that has long, rich, red-cherry and chocolate flavors. Very approachable. 92 points

Smoothly presented, fresh cherry and plum aromas here with a leafy edge, leading to a very fresh and keenly defined palate with long, neatly cut tannins. This holds impressive focus and concentration. Drink or hold. Screw cap. 93 points

There’s a greater play of oak than seen in the other 2016 pinots from Denison and this means the fruit takes a back seat to the cedary and savory, graphite-scented aromas. The palate has a svelte and powerful fruit core with strong oak squeezing it tight for now. Mocha finish. Needs time. Try from 2021. Screw cap. 93 points
