What reviewers say
“Purchased this last year after a fantastic tasting with winemaker & all-round nice guy Franco D'Anna (who flew over to Perth for the event). Nose is interesting; raspberry and strawberry with a musty, barnyard edge. Allens red frogs too! Cinnamon and hints of orange blossom if I really stick my nose in the glass. Similar notes on the palate, with orange blossom making way for olive leaf. Fresh, easy drinking yet not devoid of complexity. 4⭐”

Summary
From Yarra Valley in Australia, Wickhams Road Pinot Noir is a red.
516 other reds from Australia form the cohort it is ranked inside. 76 Vivino reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, and those are the ones the calibrated score reads; a separate, broader pool of 78 reviewers with at least two ratings each feeds the raw-average track.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this bottle against every other wine those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — four stars from someone who hands out fives means something very different from four stars from someone who rarely goes above three. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.
- Global percentile
- Where Wickhams Road Pinot Noir lands against every wine we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — wines of the same type from the same country. A Chilean red is judged against Chilean reds, not against Champagne. Ranked against Red · Australia (517 wines).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each wine keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 76.
