Tasting Notes
The Smiths Lane King Valley Pinot Noir 2021 opens with an inviting and fragrant bouquet of red cherries, fresh raspberries, and dried rose petals, underscored by a subtle earthy complexity reminiscent of forest floor and damp autumn leaves. On the palate, this cool-climate Pinot Noir is graceful and silky, delivering bright red berry fruit — cranberry and pomegranate — alongside a gentle savouriness of dried herbs and a whisper of toasty oak. The tannins are fine-grained and supple, characteristic of the King Valley's elevated, cool growing conditions, lending the wine an elegant structure without heaviness. The finish is long and lingering, with a refreshing acidity that keeps the wine lively and food-friendly.
