"Pale ruby in colour. Darker fruit on the nose than Jessie – black cherry and potting soil. Warming with brown-spice notes. Structurally very firm and tight with black-walnut bitterness to the edge. Tannin is elevated and grippy. Very long. Brooding. (SCJ)"

"The 2021 Pinot Noir Louise Vineyard is savory with a pleasantly herbal tinge as suggestions of incense and lavender give way to cinnamon-dusted blackberries. It's a model of purity, wiry, with saline minerals and depths of tart wild berries peppering the palate. This is long and perfumed with a coating of concentration that lingers long, leaving a cranberry crunch through the finale."
