Shaw + Smith's 2016 Pinot Noir actually reminds me of some Sonoma Pinots in its attractive notes of cherry cola and wintergreen. But it's only medium-bodied, with delicate, silky tannins, and it doesn't have the creamy ripeness or alcohol of those wines. With its long, mouthwatering finish, it's a fine, elegant rendering of Pinot Noir to enjoy over the next several years.

Elegant, with dried berry notes that have a touch of gunpowder tea and loamy accents. Chicory and spice details linger in the background of a polished frame. Drink now through 2023. 200 cases imported.??–MW??Region: Australia / Adelaide Hills Select to Add
