Thick As Thieves Levings Pinot Noir 2021

"Cherry, strawberry, spice and perfume, a little coffee bean earthiness. It’s light but firm, all red fruit with a spicy and earthy character, fine graphite tannin, cool acidity, some orange peel and fennel, almost a little bit of a Barbaresco feel to it (but don’t mind me), with a long and spicy finish. It’s very good, and looked better after being open for a day. 95pts."

Gary Walsh, The Wine Front

"Hand picked fruit from our Home block vineyard; four open pot ferments with an average 70% whole bunch and 22 days on skins; natural ferment and malo; 25% new French oak; no fining or filtration. Aroma: Blueberries, strawberries & violets with hints of orange peel, earth, spice wood and reduction - give it a decant as a young wine and see it open up. Palate: Super fine & focussed - crystal clear palate with a dense core of blue & red fruits - tightly coiled & restrained in its youth."

Syd Bradford, Winemaker
