Score 90/100 · Drink 2023-2032, Erin Larkin, Wine Advocate, Feb 2024
The 2022 Bannockburn Pinot Noir comes from an impressive site that overlooks Bannockburn, and it has some pretty sensational views from the top if I'm honest with you. The wine is fleshy, supple and balanced but is imbued with lashings of ripe red cherry and plum through the finish. It feels quite ripe (but isn't overripe), but many will love the flesh and flow of it. 13% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.

The 2022 Pinot Noir offers up sweetly fruited nose raspberries, plums and toast. It's soft and juicy with succulent tannins that coat the palate. The 2022 is easygoing and supple, though a little heavy on the oak (medium-plus toast).
