Bannockburn 1314 Pinot Noir 2022
Our Verdict
Now a bona-fide mini Bannockburn Pinot, this new release kicks off with bright, sappy and crunchy red fruits before finding Bannockburn’s familiar undergrowth and savoury nuances. It’s pretty and poised with a silken wave of ripe floral and berry flavours entwined in sinewy tannins and bright acidity. The finish is both intense and elegant.
It’s a wine that should be on every Pinot lover’s shopping list - classic Bannockburn Pinot with drink-me-now appeal.
“A blend of estate fruit planted in 1976, 1997 and 2004. 25% whole bunches and 20% new oak. A pleasing crimson red. The whole bunches announce themselves the moment you pick up the glass. Aromas of tea rose and bramble together with some spiced cherries and raspberries lead onto the moreish and flavourful palate. This also has the structure to see this become softer and more complex over the next 3–4 years.” 93 Points - Philip Rich, The Wine Companion
“There’s plenty of interest here but then, that’s always the case with the wines of Bannockburn. This is a twiggy, autumnal Pinot Noir with spice, earth, ash, snapped twig and cola characters running through pure, sweet red cherry fruit flavour. It’s light-ish but there’s enough to satisfy, and the drinkability factor is high enough for me to polish off a bottle solo over the course of two nights. It’s a wine that isn’t too taxing, but still has plenty going on.” 90 Points - Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front
