Occasional wine note

This is the best Pinot we've tried from Flowers to date. Loads of ripe red fruits on the nose and palate accompanied by just the right touch of citrus, dried herbs, and other earthy character, with a touch of spice and some underlying minerality that takes you through a wonderful finish. Brilliant!

What experts say about this wine

James Suckling

What an amazing nose of grilled dried seaweed, oyster shell, dried strawberry and iron. Full to medium body with linear tannins that give it drive and length. Iron shavings. Tight at the end. Superb. Drink after 2025.

Wine Spectator

A tightly focused, long and pure expression of Pinot, with raspberry coulis and blood orange zest notes streaming along, laced liberally with sous-bois, red tea and savory accents. Reveals lots of underlying energy, with everything in lockstep through the mineral-edged finish.
