A Wall Street Journal Top 10 Pinot Noir on first release, the 2008 Library Release is genuinely special and delicious.
The youthful and concentrated primary flavours have become more savoury, layered and complex over time. The oak sits beautifully on the wine, adding toasty elements that are harmonious and supportive of flavours of violets, mocha, dark fruits.
"I only get one chance per year to make the most exceptional Pinot Noir I can; there is never room for mistakes." - John Belsham, Winemaker

"Seductive and soothing, this sophisticated and complex Pinot Noir shows red / dark cherry, game and earthy mushroom aromas leading to a succulent palate that silky and rounded, backed by fine, polished tennis. The sweet fruit flavours of the warm 2008 summer combined with lovely maturity, this is an irresistible Pinot Noir to partner rich savoury dishes." - Sam Kim, Wine Orbit On Release Review
