2021 EVELYN’S PINOT NOIR

The 2021 Pinot Noir Evelyn’s seduces with its cascade of dried roses, rum-soaked cherries and autumnal spices. This is pure elegance, energetic and soothing, with vibrant acidity and crisp red fruits contrasted by sour citrus and hints of steeped plum. It finishes with remarkable length and potent, leaving a licorice and cinnamon tinge and mouth watering for more as gentle tannins tug lightly at the cheeks. What a darling. Evelyn’s spends sixteen months refining in 30% new French oak.
