"Deep-ish red with purple tinges, the aroma opens with a touch of meatiness, then airs to reveal superripe black cherry, a trace of foresty mystery with whiffs of vanilla and kirsch. It's rich and full and generous, with a style more towards the fruit-bomb end of the spectrum than a fine-boned, ethereal style. Easy to like, and its lovely sweet fruit will surely prove popular."

Graeme Phillips 5 Stars!
"A stunning first release by acclaimed Adelaide Hills-based Shaw + Smith, who bought the Tolpuddle Vineyard in 2011. Depth, power, great fruit intensity, succulent acidity and quite wonderful drive and carry through to a long, elegant finish. A great food wine now and just hinting at the complexity that a few more years will bring."

"Beautifully aromatic with fine, sweet red cherries. Floral with some green herby notes in the background, as well as a touch of ginger. On the palate it is really fresh and bright with red cherries, some silkiness and also a bit of grip. Primary and fresh, this is really distinctive. It's almost Barolo-like. Beautiful."

Jancis Robinson 18 points!Aromatically developed. Rhubarb, redcurrant, absolutely gorgeous fragrance. Light body, no tannins. Slight stalky scent. Pixel perfect structure. Might not appeal to those who prefer the funkier side of Pinot, but as a classic Tasmanian style, this is an impressive debut.
