The Reviews
2022 McCutcheon Pinot Noir
97 pts :: Huon Hooke :: The Real Review :: 19/8/24
Terrestrial, earthy, undergrowth aromas together with five spice and darker fruits. A bigger wine with density, structure, richness, concentration. Enormous palate length. A cracking pinot noir. 2024–2037.
2022 Coolart Road Pinot Noir
95 pts :: Huon Hooke :: The Real Review :: 19/8/24
Rich, full-bodied, dense and plummy pinot noir, more earthbound aromas. Deep, dense and tannic. A robust style of pinot noir—the Pommard of the group! (10% whole-bunches). 2024–2037.
2022 Wallis Pinot Noir
95 pts :: Huon Hooke :: The Real Review :: 19/8/24
Spicy dark and red fruits on the bouquet; concentrated flavour with lovely intensity and drive. Balsamic herbs and violets. Real richness, fleshy density, compact, with terrific focus, line and length. 2024–2034.
2022 Judd Pinot Noir
93 pts :: Huon Hooke :: The Real Review :: 19/8/24
A highly perfumed pinot, with pot-pourri, leaf-litter/undergrowth, ethereal aromatics. A delicate, light bodied and lively. Refined raspberry and spice flavours, has intensity and medium-long carry. A subtle style of pinot noir. 2024–2032.
2022 Judd Chardonnay
96 pts :: Huon Hooke :: The Real Review :: 19/8/24
Rich spicy aromas, citrusy, floral and stony mineral notes, the palate intense and focused, taut and tense with great precision and high acidity that draws the palate right out. A gorgeous chardonnay of terrific refinement, line and length. 2024–2034.
2022 Wallis Chardonnay
96 pts :: Huon Hooke :: The Real Review :: 19/8/24
Creamy bouquet with fluffy lees nuances over dried citrus peel, oak invisible, the palate tense and refined with a terrific line of acidity that draws the finish out. Appetising, super-refreshing finish. 2024–2034.
2022 McCutcheon Chardonnay
94 pts :: Huon Hooke :: The Real Review :: 19/8/24
Medium-light yellow colour; the bouquet has a lot of mealy and nutty, smoky aromas, while the palate is big and strong, round and rich, with mild acidity and a touch of toasted cashewnut to finish. A contrast with the Wallis chardonnay. 2024–2032.
2022 Mills Chardonnay
93 pts :: Huon Hooke :: The Real Review :: 19/8/24
Wheaty aromas greet the nose, nutty traces and a smoky reductive note as well, while the palate is broader and more open-knit than the same maker's Red Hill chardonnays, the texture showing some grip and chew from tannins. A contrast in style. 2024–2033.
