Kershaw Wines Smuggler’s Boot Pinot Noir

Pale crimson, the nose bursts with Rainier cherry, strawberry, blossom, clean alpine air and a twist of spearmint. A pretty wine, the entry is light-bodied, the bright acidity allowing the wine buoyancy as it dances on the palate. Dry, cool with cherry flesh, strawberry compote, redcurrant jelly and a twist of liquorice supported by fine sandy tannins. There is some complexity with a smidgeon of spice from a ginger biscuit note that extends to a superb long finish.
