Youthful crimson hues lead into a vibrant, brightly fruited young Pinot Noir alive in cherry, raspberry, red plum, light florals and spice. Plenty to like here, lightly textured, medium bodied with little obvious oak in play which leaves just the fruit and, importantly, it’s very good fruit. Part of its drinking enjoyment can also be directed at the wine’s juicy acidity so essential to its freshness.
