"Lovely texture and mouthfeel are the first impression, then a panoply of soft fruits with a strong dash of spice. Rating 94 Drink 0213 Date Tasted Mar 07." James Halliday's Australian Wine Companion.

"The 2005 Pinot Noir Estate “Sigma” was aged for 18 months in French oak including 30% new Francois Freres barrels. The wine has superb aromatics featuring toasty, mineral, black cherry, and black raspberry notes. This leads to a juicy yet structured velvety-textured wine which will profit from 3-4 years of additional cellaring. Drink it through 2020.
