FIVE STARS 96/100 | Bob Campbell MW, The Real Review - "A complex and approachable long-distance runner."
From one of the first vineyards to be planted in Bannockburn, Terra Sancta Slapjack Block Pinot Noir is top flight wine from this long-standing producer.
An intensely perfumed and multi-layered nose sets the stage for a rich, concentrated palate brimming with dark plum, black cherry, dried fruit, licorice, and exotic spice. This is a pinot noir of serious presence — powerful and deeply complex, yet wrapped in fine, velvety tannins that give it remarkable texture and finesse.

Bob Campbell MW writes "Flagship pinot noir with predictably concentrated dark-fleshed plum, black cherry, dried fruit and Christmas cake characters and a generous addition of spicy oak influence. Look hard enough and you'll find subtle fresh herb and floral flavours. A complex and approachable long-distance runner."
The winery writes "An intensely perfumed, layered nose, leads to a concentrated palate of dark plums, black cherry, dried fruit, licorice and exotic spice. Powerful and complex with fine velvety tannins, it is an extremely textural and complete wine. Combining the structure and complexity of Burgundy with the purity, energy and bright fruit of Bannockburn, this is a stunning Pinot Noir that will go the distance."
