"Well-crafted, seductive and lively, with notes of sliced strawberries, cherries, roses and pink peppercorns. Medium-bodied with bright acidity and an intense core of wild berries and spices mingling on the mid-palate. Precise and vibrant with a long finish. Drink or hold."

"Pale ruby in colour. Warm oak spice – nutmeg and toasted cumin. Black cherry and black plum – sweet smelling and slightly sticky. Very high tannin, grippy. Balanced, elevated acidity. Needs time. Quite a bit of power here. (SCJ)"

"The 2021 Pinot Noir Paul Gerrie Vineyard is a spicy blend of cloves, cinnamon sticks, and cedar shavings, complementing medicinal cherries. This easily flows across the palate, taking on tension through a blend of tart boysenberry, raspberry and sour citrus. It finishes long and tannic, holding its power in reserve, sapid with repleting floral notes. The Paul Gerrie is produced using 40% whole clusters and 45% new French oak."
