2023 Shaw + Smith Pinot Noir
Adelaide Hills, SA
$62.00
2023 Shaw + Smith Pinot Noir shows detailed aromas of spice, dark cherry and brambly undergrowth. There is tannin and tension on the palate, but with the effortless grace of cool vintage fruit and freshness. Medium-bodied with finely integrated tannins, the palate reveals layers of dark cherry flavors, subtle peppercorn nuances, and a touch of tobacco leaf. There’s a hint of terra cotta and sandy middle-palate tannins, contributing to its complexity. The wine concludes with a lingering freshness, balanced acidity, and a persistent, elegant aftertaste. Deceptively powerful for a cool and late vintage; one that grows and grows in the glass.
This Pinot Noir showcases the unique terroir of the Adelaide Hills, combining aromatic complexity with a refined palate. It’s recommended to enjoy it now or cellar until 2029.
