95 POINTS - Cameron Douglas
"Complex elegant lifted sophistiscated a wine with aromas of ripe red berry fruits red stone fruits plum and barrel spices. There’s a sense of place within the bouquet and this follows through to the palate with a dried herb and gravelly clay soil quality. Tannins are firm ripe and along with the acidity lay the foundation for texture and ageing. There’s a tautness to the palate highlighting the youthful nature. Plenty of fruit and sweetbrrel spice flavours. A lovely wine with length and complexity. Well made."

The 2021 Nine Barrels Parkburn Vineyard Pinot Noir is a single vineyard wine displaying the power generosity and intensity generated by our Parkburn Vineyard site. Dark and moody the Nine Barrels displays notes of black cherry thyme and ripe plum with an expressive nose and plush tannins on the palate. With the fine balance of ripe fruit natural acidity and mineral tension this wine truly represents the Pisa sub-region and its complex nature. Expect to see this youthful wine transform and evolve over a decade or more; please be aware a fine deposit may occur as a result of our minimal handling philosophy.
