Nice smooth, smoky, earthy, full flavoured Pinot for under $20
Description: Medium light garnet with some ruby in colour with a medium to medium+ intense nose. This wine features smoked cedar, black cherry, raspberry, cranberry compote, cinnamon, cloves and autumn leaves. Medium+ body with low tannins, good acidity and a long length.
Negatives: None
Interesting Note: It’s a steal if you can get it for the clearance price
Drink now or in the next 5 years on its own or pair it with cedar plank salmon
