95 points James Suckling"Lots of bark, mushroom and forest-flower aromas with crushed cherries. Complex. Medium body with lovely acid tension and a racy and pretty finish. Very fine tannins. Lots of energy here. Drink after 2025." 94 points Wine...

95 points Vinous"The 2017 Estate Reserve Chardonnay was matured in 500-liter barrels using 40% new oak. It has quite a powerful bouquet of crushed stone, yellow stone fruit, jasmine and light walnut aromas that are very well defined, although it clearly...

Jancis Robinson"80% Chardonnay, 20% Pinot Bianco. Disgorged November 2017.Beautifully mineral with an almost saline waxy fruit nose. Waxy fruit on the palate. Still very tight and a little closed. Mouth-watering and long and with energetic, waxy lemon...

92 points Wine Enthusiast"Lemon peel, exotic apple, minty forest herbs and a hint of tropical fruit converge on the nose of this bottling. The palate is loaded with pan-seared apples, coconut and toasted cashew flavors, framed by a lemon-peel acidity...

92 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate"The 2021 Yarra Junction Pinot Noir is very light in color and low in alcohol too (11%). On the nose, you get cherries, tobacco, garden mint, star anise, fennel seeds and blood plum along with enoki, pastrami and...

100 points Wine & Spirits"If a wine could ever make you want to pull the top down on your '68 Ferrari convertible, rip off the rearview mirror and take off, this is it. It has a different kind of energy than the '02 Cristal Rosé, which is more...

97 points Jeb Dunnuck"Even better, the 2016 Condrieu Les Chaillees de l'Enfer is vinified and aged in 25% new French oak (it’s made in the same fashion as the Coteau de Vernon). It would probably be the wine of the vintage if it wasn’t for...

95 points James Suckling"So elegant and refined in spite of the generous peach fruit, this has a freshness like the first days of spring as the first green grass and flowers appear. What a precise balance of racy acidity and floral delicacy this has on...

91 points Wine Spectator"Dry, elegant and light-bodied, with hints of date, toasted hazelnut, singed parchment paper and Earl Grey tea. Delivers a high-toned, persistent finish." Jancis Robinson"Quite thick and glutinous. Honeyed notes – though it...

96 points James Suckling"Harmonious, well-structure and layered. The nose shows aromas of wild strawberries, sour cherries, dried herbs, crushed stones and flowers. It’s medium- to full-bodied with finely grained tannins, yet it is still firm at...

95 points James Suckling"A beautifully crafted pinot, as always, with focused fruit, subtle undertones of cedar and leather and hints of foie gras. It’s full-bodied, but not heavy, with plenty of tension and focus. Bright acidity with depth and...

96 points James Suckling"Rich aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, chocolate, tobacco and licorice. Oyster shell, too. It’s full-bodied with firm, well integrated tannins. Polished, silky layers with a long finish. Gorgeous ripe and bright fruit in...
