Shaw & SmithPinot Noir
About this product
Delicate, fragrant, light to medium bodied but with deceptive power, firm tannins, and medium term ageing potential. The wine retains its characters of delicacy and charm. There is floral perfume on the nose, followed by a fresh, textured palate, with red cherry and spice notes. Snappy acidity and fine but grippy tannins keep it fresh and taut.

Light bodied red wines have a water-light mouthfeel and light flavour impact. Often pale to light/medium in colour.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

Medium to full purple/red colour. The aromas are earthy, dusty and dried-herby. The wine is bold and extractive, with rather harsh tannins. It's a little aggressive. Big tannins and some alcohol after-heat. A rather stolid pinot with a lot of stemmy overtones, but also perfume and fruit-sweetness. This may moderate with a little extra time in bottle.
