97 POINTS, PLATINUM AWARD, DECANTER WINE AWARDS 2026

"A cool climate spectacular, with wonderful soaring herbs, green olives, bay leaves, cherries and raspberries welcoming the palate. Decisive structure, shapely tannins and crisp acidity tie everything together, bringing the flavours to life. Long and savoury."

97/100, SAM KIM

Wonderfully fruited and enticing, the bouquet shows dark plum, smoked game, tapenade, porcini, and roasted nut aromas. The concentrated palate delivers plump mouthfeel and velvety texture, splendidly framed by seamlessly woven tannins, making it opulent with grace and poise. At its best: now to 2037.

96/100, RAYMOND CHAN WINE REVIEWS

Light ruby-red with a tinge of garnet, lighter on the rim. It has a lifted bouquet with aromas of plum, cherry, mulberry, rose, spice, and undergrowth. Medium-bodied, with aromas of plum and mulberry entwined with black cherry, unveiling rose, forest floor, cinnamon, and nutmeg. There's depth to flavour, supported by enlivening acidity, rippling on a linear, enticing flow. Silky, refined tannins provide structure and layer, lending a lengthy, graceful finish. 10+ years.

95/100, CAMERON DOUGLAS

Ripe and pure fruited with a core of red berry fruits and limestone soil scents. As the wine opens out in the glass, the earthy signature increases. Aromas of fine oak barrels and concentration of fruit show that this wine is youthful and highly energised. Dry, taut, and youthful squeeze on the palate, with flavours of cherry and raspberry, along with a strawberry compote note, then clay and limestone, oak spice, and focus. An abundance of fine tannins and a backbone of acidity frame the palate nicely. Lengthy and well-made, with the best drinking from 2029 through 2035+.

The 2022 vintage marks the inaugural release of EOS Pinot Noir – a wine shaped by the season’s restraint and the clarity of our site. Deep and darkly brooding, it exudes intensity with a luscious core of Doris plum, mulberry, and cassis. These fruit notes are layered with subtle spice, hints of anise and black pepper. The palate is rich and complex, with impressive depth and finely grained tannins that shape a bold yet harmonious finish. A wine of power and intrigue, revealing new layers with every sip. EOS makes its debut, derived from the same site and plantings as Caroline’s Pinot Noir, yet expressing a distinct stylistic identity.
