Aromatically, the wine is boisterous and full of harmony, drawing on every fetching fragrance from the volcanic Red Hills. Equal parts rhubarb, clove, graham cracker, bay leaf, rose water, and carnation sync to provide a layered nose. On the palate, the wine shows fine, cocoa-like tannins with deep, marinated black currant flavours and a savoury, dramatic finish. Flexing robust flavour while still offering restraint, this wine is a telling glimpse of a remarkable 2021 vintage. D 97

A bountiful wine, the Vireton bursts with familiar fragrances and lasting flavour. Abundant spice dominates the nose with lush, ripe raspberries and dark chocolate. On the palate, there are generous notes of earth, caramel, and chocolate. The wine is equally giving on the tail end, delivering juicy red fruit backed by a light but balancing acidity. It all combines to offer a lengthy, memorable finish. WS 94

This wine opens with fresh apple and honeydew melon. A touch of citrus fruit aroma leads into guava notes with a subtle floral component along the edges. On the palate this wine is focused and silky. The acidity of this wine has a delicate interplay with the melon and tropical notes leading this wine to be enjoyable on its own, or great with your favourite soft cheese, seafood, or rice dish.

This wine is richly textured, with subtle oaky and creamy notes atop pure and persistent underlying fruit flavours. Jasmine, flint, pistachio, and curry leaf aromatics dissolve into bright citrus flavours followed by stone fruit, kaffir lime, and lemon curd.

With red fruits and rhubarb driving the nose and a palate made of raspberry and currant, the 2017 Arcus Pinot Noir is tied tightly to the red end of the fruit spectrum. The fruit is sourced from the historic Dundee Hills vineyard, fit with volcanic soils and diverse vineyard rows—a striking setting not far from the winery and tasting room. A persistent finish reminds of the intriguing depth. WS 95+
