Rivesdale Pinot Noir 2023

A marriage of sun warmed strawberries, mulberry and cherry twigs. Some subtle blood orange citrus and a halo of cassis. It’s animated with perfectly ripe fruit, unsullied by heavy handed oak. A slow but steadily creeping line of acidity and soft pillowy tannins. As with a lot of Riversdale wines, they are immediately apparent and just very good drinks. Plenty of pleasure and visibility of Coal River fruit. There is a touch of kombu and cassia bark to finish. An effortless wine that would make any Pinot Noir drinker happy. Drink with a Cornish pasty eaten from the bag.
