Quartz Reef Pinot Noir Central Otago 2018 (750ML)

92 Points, Rebecca Gibb, Vinous Media: "This is one weighty mouthful of silken wine. Ripe, sweet red cherry and almond fruit provide the fragrance from start to finish. The naturally abundant tannins of the Bendigo subregion are here, but they are resolved, acting as a powdery adhesive that coats the mouth. There is enough gentle acidity to keep things moving, though also the merest hint of warmth from the 14% alcohol. You can expect plentiful concentration of fruit and a lengthy, red-cherry-infused finish." 03/21

96 Points, James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com: "Impressive blueberry and dark-cherry aromas, cocoa powder, sweet spices and violet-like florals. The palate has a very smooth, spicy feel with such attractive tannin texture. So fine, very detailed and carrying dark cherry and cocoa flavors so long on the finish. This is intense, smooth and round with impressive tannin structure. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold. Screw cap." 10/21
