The Lane Pinot Noir 2022

This is such a crowd pleaser. Built to be ready to go on release, upfront and juicy in sweet-fruited red berries, strawberry and lively spice. Everything seems anchored to the fruit with some stylish touches in the oak department. Offers a nice line in tannin while remaining supple and elegant. And there’s an underlying energy to the wine which really means, to my mind, it will be best enjoyed sooner rather than later.
