Here is the WINEWISE review of WINDY RIDGE 2001 PINOT NOIR
in their August 2004 Small Vigneron Awards:

Although sappy, stemmy characteristics play a part in the style of this pinot,
there’s more than enough strawberry-cherry flavour to handle the complexity.
The tannins are supple, adding to the impressively opulent mouthfeel.
($35) GOLD.
(The judging panel included James Halliday)

About Winewise
(Click to the Winewise web site)

Winewise was founded in 1985. Each year we review more than 2,500 wines in six issues (at least 32 pages per issue) covering all the major varietal styles at least twice. We report on the world's best winemakers and viticultural regions, and our editorials tackle some of the major issues in the world of wine.

In addition, we provide a comprehensive coverage of the best of Australia's small wineries by conducting the annual Winewise Small Vigneron Awards.

Unlike other magazines, we publish reviews of all wines tasted. We don't restrict our tastings only to wines submitted by wine companies. We also purchase wines for tasting from retail outlets in Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra.

Winewise carries no advertising, and reviews of all wines tasted are published under the categories 'Outstanding', 'Highly Recommended', 'Recommended', 'Agreeable', 'Acceptable', and 'Unacceptable'.

Winewise is the only truly independent wine magazine providing such a comprehensive coverage of Australian and imported wines.
