2018 South and West
“The immediate balance and sense of effortlessness, coupled with complexity and vibrant detail, called for an earlier bottling to preserve the youthful exuberance of these wines, opting for slow bottle-ageing to lay on the charms of maturity instead.”

Ben Haines, Winemaker

“Everything a pinot should be: fragrant, finely-tuned and elegant.” Halliday Wine Companion

“This is pinot noir to make your head spin. Cranberry, musk, sour cherry, sweet herbs, tang and silk. It offers some kind of journey and impresses as some kind of wonderful. If you get the chance you must try this. It’s captivating…” Halliday Wine Companion

“Drinking it is like taking a walk in the garden. Fresh, lively, different, individual” Halliday Wine Companion.

“How does Nine One Six #pinotnoir from #yarravalley #australia stand up to #japanese #donburi with an array of #homemade pickles? Very well! Loved the wine’s subtle flavors, floral notes & sweet spices” Jeannie ChoLee, Master of Wine

“A very expressive bouquet with a deep pinot and allspice aroma is replayed on the full, but well balanced palate…” Halliday Wine Companion

“Striking, deep, vivid purple-crimson; the perfumed red berry bouquet heralds a harmonious, supple palate with both depth and length to the black and red cherry fruit; the oak is not obtrusive, tannins present but not obvious.” Halliday Wine Companion
