Handpicked Wines, Pinot Noir, Mornington Peninsula, 2021

Medium garnet hue. Bright red cherry and crisp foliage. Hints of singed citrus skin and white chocolate nibs. Varietal, edged with incense smoke and rose petals. Savoury balances to cinnamon spiced red fruit. Hyper fine tannins give a velvety carpet for it all to sit on. Well structured with a sense of calm and restraint.
