"Lovely seductive aromas of perfectly ripe strawberries with fresh flowers and orange. Medium body, very fine with orange peel and cherries as well as stone and hints of bark. Already delicious. A blend of their four vineyards. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Drink or hold. Screw cap." James Suckling 94 points Drink 2025-33

The 2022 Bannockburn Pinot Noir is a blend of the four vineyards: Cornish Point, MacMuir, Block 3 and Block 5. It leads with violets, cherry blossom, pomegranate pearls, star anise and cracked fennel seeds. In the mouth, the wine is supple and spicy, with lashings of fruit flavor and a balancing splay of tannins through the mid-palate and finish. Nicely handled wine, satisfying and supple. 14% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.

The 2022 Pinot Noir Bannockburn is pure, refined and lifted with a silky, smooth texture that caresses the mouth despite being shy of mid-weight. Sweet raspberry and cherry meet a finely tuned herby character. It's all well-judged with excellent tannin handling, leaving the mouth coated with the finest appetizing textures that'll have you licking the insides of your cheeks. This 2022 is delectable from the off and will be for the first ten years of its life.
