2019 Curly Flat Estate Pinot Noir
“Deepish dark red colour with a tint of purple and a rich spicy, ‘forest floor’ and dark-cherry bouquet, subtly tinged with char-oak. The wine is full-bodied and strongly built, with voluminous flavour, serious tannin structure and plenty of grip. An impressive pinot of impressive weight, flesh and density, which promises to age superbly.”

2019 Curly Flat Central Pinot Noir
“It’s from the estate’s 1992 planting, aka its oldest vines. It was fermented wild before going into 27% new oak.
This takes the tannin up another notch; I was bowled over by this, it’s a terrific wine. Meaty, smoky, plum-shot, silken, cedar-laced. But bold with tannin. Muscular in a nuanced way. The ‘standard’ Curly Flat pinot noir grew on me over the hours; this one hit me with its quality immediately. You can see the grains in this and I mean that as a positive; it’s like an LP, analog, grainy, its flavours told in grooves. Drink : 2022 – 2028+”

2019 Curly Flat Western Pinot Noir
“Deep red/purple colour, with a sweetly-scented raspberry, black cherry and mixed spice bouquet. The wine is full and ample, rounded and supple-textured, loaded with delicious intense pinot flavours and ample soft, fine-grained tannins, the aftertaste lingering long. A superb pinot, thorougly delicious in every way. The tannins suggest it will take some age to advantage. (From the westernmost and coolest site, the vines planted in 1997 and 1998.)”
95 Points, Huon Hooke, The Real Review
