Tasting Notes

Thousand Candles Gathering Field  Pinot Noir 2023

"20–30% whole bunches and matured in older barriques and hogsheads. A light, bright ruby red. Poised and nicely defined aromas of red fruits, gentle florals and a little spice. It's a touch closed, in a good way, on the medium-bodied, energetic and very well-balanced palate. A quite delicious and well-priced wine to drink over the next three to four years.' 95 Points, Special Value, Philip Rich, Halliday Wine Companion

"There’s lovely fruit here. And excellent varietal character. It ranks high for drinkability but it brings a bit of integrity to the table too, or an impression of it at least. Red and black cherries, roasted meats, sweet spices and a modest autumnal note. It feels polished. There’s a fraction of volatility but it feels cohesive, and it’s not sour. This is quality Pinot Noir fruit." 92 Points, Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front
