“You could easily mistake this excellent Adelaide Hills pinot noir for a wine from Burgundy’s Cote de Nuits. Wonderfully fine sour cherry character with rooty complexity on the nose, then a refreshing interplay of restrained fruit, self-confident tannins and mineral acidity on the beautifully proportioned palate. Drink or hold. 94pts.”
James Suckling
“Like all Coates wines, this 2021 The Pinot Noir achieves a brilliance of flavor—a saturation in the mouth. There is so much flavor here. It accesses a level of clarity, persistence and suppleness of fruit that many Pinots strive for. There are raspberries, cherries and red apples—really delicious drinking here. It’s not hugely complex, but the flow is just so attractive. 92pts.”
