Critic reviews
The Wine Front – "This delivers. It’s good from the start, from the first whiff, but it’s the fanfare of the finish that really seals it. It’s a medium intensity release with a ton of both spread and run. Undergrowth, red cherry, pippy strawberry and assorted florals and spices. It’s lifted and attractive, earthen and broody, tight and long at once; and it carries all those contradictions in its stride. Now or later this dude will abide." - Campbell Mattinson
James Halliday – "From a small parcel of MV6 in the Henk vineyard at Woori Yallock. Approximately 20% whole bunches. Matured in both 300L and 500L casks (less than 10% new). This is the finest Oakridge pinot I can remember tasting, and while it's taken time, David Bicknell's pinots aren't far behind his world class chardonnays. Wonderful fruit purity and complexity here with its scents of white strawberries, crushed rose petals and patchouli. The effortless medium-bodied palate has a real sense of elegance with persistent, silky tannins in perfect harmony with the fruit. While it's a total joy now, I'd love to see this in seven to 10 years. A superb wine." - Philip Rich

Oakridge Pinot Noir Single Block 864 - Henk Vineyard Aquaduct 2021
Deep burgundy in colour with a garnet hue. Intensely fruited aromas of pomegranate, cranberry and dark cherry leap from the glass, the fruit almost verges into blue fruits before notes of exotic spice and touches of earth reveal themselves. There is a background element of oak that is intricately woven into the fruit, never dominating. The palate is finally detailed, a generous core of powerful fruit is complemented by a velvet line of tannin. There is vibrancy here from carefully managed acidity which provides seamless length. A subtle textural element from time on lees that adds yet another dimension. Classic Yarra Valley Pinot Noir, from an excellent vintage sourced from a great site.

Yarra Valley Wine
The Yarra Valley wine region is the most important area of wine production in Victoria today, and with its proximity to Melbourne, also the most visited in the state.
Yarra Valley is split into the Upper Yarra and the valley floor. The Upper Yarra is cooler in climate due to its elevation and coupled with younger, fertile, red soils produces most of the region’s notable varietals: Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The valley floor is warmer and has predominantly grey soils with pockets of granite and limestone.
Pinot noir has long been considered a notoriously difficult variety to grow. However, the cool climate and longer growing seasons of the Yarra Valley allow the fruit to develop full flavoured and ripe character.
Chardonnay in the past has long been associated with a deep oily, buttery style that experiences full malolactic fermentation and great amounts of oak. This style has since fallen out of favour and wine makers in the Yarra Valley have capitalized on this trend to produce leaner, acid driven Chardonnays that are closer in style to those from Burgundy.
