⭐ 96 Points – Philip Rich, Halliday Wine Companion (31 July 2025)

“From the Sexton vineyard in Gruyere planted in the late ’90s. 100% destemmed. A deep crimson ruby. Aromas of ripe dark raspberries, blackcurrant pastilles (these were always my favourite) and even a little kirsch. A touch of rose bush. The palate is juicy and fleshy and the wine’s ripe, plush tannins make this, along with the Primavera, the richest, meatiest and most immediate of the four single-vineyard pinots in ’24. Having said this, you’d be happy if you found some laying around the cellar in eight or so years.”

⭐ 94 Points – Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front (11 August 2025)

“Red fruit, aspects of saucy oak, figs and graphite, smoke. Chester described this wine as ‘grenache adjacent’ and that’s as apt a call as you’ll hear. It has that cloves-tucked-into-raspberry-into-smoke-into-iron persona. It feels compact, it tastes delicious, and it has good weight and length, the latter featuring a keen smoked peppercorn aspect. Love the feel and the profile of this. 94+.”
