Tasting Notes

Impressive freshness here with ripe red fruit and a swathe of sweetly fragrant wild flowers and herbs. The palate has attractive, punchy blood-orange, red-cherry and wild red-berry flavors in fresh, succulent and spicy mode. Drink now. Screw cap.

James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com, September 2018

The slightly herbal and earthy 2017 Bannockburn Vineyard Pinot Noir lacks the ripe fruit of the 2016, replacing it with hints of pie cherries and cranberries. It's still medium-bodied and silky in texture, but it finishes tart and edgy, with some drying tannins.
