96 Points - James Halliday Wine Companion

"Sourced from Tasmania and the Upper Yarra Valley; barrel-fermented in 50% new, 50% 1-year-old French oak, 80% mlf. Combines complexity with feline grace, a marvellous array of white stone fruit, melon, fig and grapefruit flavours all seeking to speak, the mlf providing a creamy note to the texture."

96 Points - Huon Hooke The Real Review

"(Tasmania & Yarra Valley) Full, bright yellow colour. Intense, rich, open-knit peachy bouquet, with lots of richness and volume, bordering on the opulent. Lashings of high quality oak, in good balance with the rich, concentrated fruit flavour. Outstanding wine."

"Yes, it’s expensive, but it’s cheaper than a premier cru Burgundy from a reputable maker. Full bright yellow; rich peachy open-knit bouquet with smoky and spicy complexing characters, then a powerful, concentrated palate with richness that borders on opulent. An outstanding chardonnay from accomplished winemaker Tom Newton. Now to 2022. 13 per cent alcohol. "

"I think I’ll leave the 2012 Eileen Hardy Pinot Noir for Mattinson or Mike to review. Meanwhile, I’m pretty sold on this one. Touch of struck match, fine spicy cinnamon oak, grapefruit and stonefruit. Medium bodied, well etched lines of acidity softened with a light creaminess. Pure fruited, not too much winery work or oak – or rather – just enough to lend complexity. Cool, fresh and spicy to close with admirable length of flavour. Hits the Modern Australian style bang on."
