Swinging Bridge Caldwell Lane Pinot Noir 2023

95 POINTS

Shanteh Wale - Halliday Wine Companion

Strawberry lollies, cranberries and redcurrants. Apple blossom, morello cherry and rose petal. A slew of free-flowing acidity. Sandy tannins that act as a moreish accompaniment to vibrant and tightly packed red fruit. Delicate and full of detail.

Kasia Sobiesiak - The Wine Front

It’s a fine and detailed wine. It has a delicate, fresh and crisp fruit base, which is very pretty, brittle almost with a porcelain-like texture. Rose water, strawberry tart, vanilla cream note, fresh rhubarb and cranberries. The oak is elegant, fine-grained and spicy, but perhaps it distracts, ever-so-slightly, from the lacy fruit it frames. For now. Some time might bump it into 94.
