2020 | Smith & Sheth 'Cru' Heretaunga Chardonnay | Hawke's Bay Lemelson Vineyards The 2021 Pinot Noir West

The 2021 Pinot Noir West Sonoma Coast is a ridiculously beautiful wine

Though the Sattler's Vineyard in Santa Clara is quite hot and dry

floral and fresh on the nose

as ripe red berries mingle with saline minerals to add balancing tension

2020 | Smith & Sheth 'Cru' Heretaunga Chardonnay | Hawke's Bay Lemelson Vineyards The 2021 Pinot Noir WestA sophisticated, pure and silky textured bouquet, fresh peach and red apple, salty air and a clay stone mineral quality. The oak seam is noticeable but not overdone, with a nut and baking spice complexity. A powerful satin texture is contrasted by a core of fruit, flavours of new and mild toasted barrel. Refreshing, lengthy and complex. 95 Pts Decanter
