Shelter Winery, N114 Pinot Noir Vintage:2020 round and generously proportioned mediumIf youre looking for a pinot noir that tastes like a Grand Cru red Burgundy but costs a fraction of the price, then look no further! Enveloping nose of black cherries, smoke and wet earth. Deep and concentrated palate with very serious tannin structure, but also excellent freshness. Very long firmly structured finish with earthy power. Very limited quantity. Drinkable now, but best from 2025. Screw cap.
