Gilli and Paul Lipscombe believe that the best Chardonnay and Pinot Noir is grown at the viticultural edge. Wine lovers looking for deep colour, extract and high acidity will not find it here. Indeed, this is what Pinot Noir was like twenty years ago, and I liken these wines to a combination of Volnay’s austerity and coolness, and Chambolle’s silk and seduction. The Sailor Seeks Horse Dijon Clone 2022 is made essentially the same as the estate Pinot, without the whole bunches and with a greater proportion of new oak. Slightly darker than the estate with a mix of poached plum, rhubarb and cherry, violets with sweet and savoury Middle Eastern Spice. Gentle palate, silky, satiny with a subtle textural grip. Terrific expanse of flavour and richness. Incredible intensity yet light and gentle. The tannins focused and precise. One of the best Pinot Noirs in Australia and reminiscent of the American producer Hirsch. Waters Wine Co
Bright, mid-depth red-purple hue with a bouquet of dark cherry and brown spices, deep and complex. The wine is rich and full in the mouth, intense and mouth-filling with refreshing acidity and a subtle sheen of fine-grained tannins, the finish very long and resonant. Superb now and has high potential for ageing. 96 Points, Huon Hooke, The Real Review
