Harewood Flux V Pinot Noir 2021

Light weight, easy drinking reds are growing in popularity at an enormous rate as many consumers are now looking toward lighter styles to deliver not only greater subtlety but also lower alcohol. James Kellie at Harewood was well ahead of the pack and has been delivering the style in his Harewood Flux Pinot Noir for some time now. Bright pale crimson, this opens with vibrant and enticing although understated aromas of rhubarb, dark cherry and warm earth with a gentle spicy lift. A savoury, light weight palate follows with delicious earthy, spicy tones, coffee grounds oak plus a little twist of tannins to finish. Great food wine for casual dining, particularly with a light chill.
