“Sweetly fragrant red and dark cherries with some amaro-like herb and spice complexity. The palate has a very fresh, crisply defined feel with intense red-cherry flavors and a crunchy resolve. 92Points.”

“Refreshing, uncomplicated and definitely a focus on drinkability. Soft tannins on a lighter frame with flavours of cherry and pips, savoury accents and a fleck of spice. 90Points.”
Jane Faulkner, Halliday Wine Companion, August 2019 [2018 Vintage]
“Ruby red, deep and intense aromas, youthfulness showing in the glass! Ripe fruit abounds, fresh acidity supporting the fruit. Layers of complexity here, take it slow. Strawberries, raspberries, plums and cherries, fruit focussed but throw in some cool mint. Lots of cherries did I say. Good seamless integrated oak, silky fine tannins, smooth long delicious and lineal fruit on the palate, delicious and moreish. Very easy drinking need I say, balanced pure fruit going on and on. Try it with roast pork belly and oven baked vegetables.”

“Tight rich cherry aromas – quite complex, a gorgeous mouthful of flavours. Tight and taut with fine grain tannins, superb now but will become STELLAR!”
Dan Traucki/Director at Wine Assist, April 2019 [2018 Vintage]
“A very enjoyable Pinot Noir oozing easy drinking factor. It’s good value for money too. Sour red cherries plus lithe raspberries and strawberries are all the rage. Red apple acidity frames the palate before a soft fine pepper spice wraps around the fruit. The finish is delightful and moreish – a two glass proposition for sure. Drink now to five years. 91/100”

“Ripe fragrant cherry with notes of oak and stems. The tannins are firm, requiring time to soften, but it has potential.”
2018 Winewise Yarra Valley Pinot Noir Tasting – 4/5 stars [2017 Vintage]
“The entry level Soumah Yarra Pinot is genuinely likeable. It’s a bright and lively Yarra Pinot with a sappy red currant and raspberry nose, then a crunchy palate with a pithy finish. Exuberance is the attraction here, even if it’s a lightish wine. 91 Points.”
Andrew Graham, Oz Wine Review, Oct 2018 [2017 Vintage]
“Stick your nose into a glass of this and inhale deeply – it’s gloriously pure and intense, like cherry and raspberry liqueur. Those aromas spill easily into the mouth as well, rising, fragrant with florals and seasoned by tantalizing spices. Soft in the drinking, juicy with swirling red berry/cherry flavours and the faintest sticky tannin palate coating. Very pretty drinking. Best with Chinese barbecued pork dishes.”
