JM 1ST APPROACH

"Bright salmon-pink; its scented bouquet is outgunned by the tinkling piano keys of the palate, skipping from one variety to the next and then back again. Roses seldom have fruit-derived mouthfeel, but this one does in spades, and is a bargain by any standards." 94 points, James Halliday, Australian Wine Companion 2013

This is the replacement for the Hoddles Creek Pinot Noir, (there is no 2009 version) as the absolutely best value for money, authentic, juicy cool climate Pinot Noir that is truly authentic and truly affordable! yes, class Pinot Noir can be an everyday drink ... indeed, it should be an everyday drink! - Gavin Trott

A spine of flinty acidity shapes the wine and turns on the thrusters through the back-palate. Toasty, spicy oak provides the chassis. Precise, intense and utterly charming. Crazy price. 95 Excellent – Exceptional Wine Will Eat Itself

Length, length and length. It builds upon itself like a circus troupe, yet never topples or sways. Earlier picking gives life, constitution and potential. Give it up to five years in the bottle and this will be quite special. Even now, it’s a treat. Buy a case if you can, before word gets out. Outstanding / 94 points Sealed with Wax

Fraser Gallop is a winery that’s pretty much gone from 0 to 100 in no time flat. - Struck match, lime and melon, cashew and vanilla cream – region and winemaker working happily together here. Medium weight, but packing plenty of fruit and flavour  93 points Winefront.com.au

An elegantly crafted wine picked at the optimum moment to give flavours of citrus, quince and white peach that are in turn picked up by the barrel ferment oak inputs; the acidity underwrites the future of the wine to five+ years.  94 points James Halliday
