5 Stars - Candice Chow. Raymond Chan Wine reviews,
"Deep ruby-red with a dark purple shade, lighter on the rim. The nose is soft and pure in expression, sweet fruit of blackberry, cherry and plum entwined with pepper, thyme, vanilla, cinnamon and earth. Medium-bodied, aromas of black cherry and plum melded with a clay earthiness, layering with pepper, thyme, then vanilla and cinnamon, persist to a gentle, long finish. The fruit is concentrated, sweet and savoury with lively acid support. Supple, powdery tannin coated the palate in silk, unfolding earthy elements. This gentle, purely expressed Pinot Noir possesses balanced, sweet and savoury dark fruit, spice and herb layers on a dusty tannin line. Match with braised duck and pork over the next 5+ years. Handpicked, destemmed, wild fermented in tank to 14% alc, 22-26 days on skins, aged in oak for 9 months, 17% new oak"

Carricks' estate Pinot Noir is always a treat and always consistent.

Winery description
"The Bannockburn Pinot Noir is Carrick's flagship wine, and the wine that we feel best represents the strong connection we have with our site. Known for its structure and ability to age well over a long period of time, the fruit is hand-picked from several vineyard parcels that are entirely grown on their own roots and are the oldest vines we have on the property. Now 25 years old. The 2019 growing season was slow to start with a cold, wet spring, followed by a warmer than average summer, yields came in on average and the numerous rain events were followed by wind, resulting in fruit arriving in good condition."
