Strawberries and cream, watermelon, wild raspberries and sweet herbs, this wine is a veritable summer’s smorgasbord. Made from 100% Pinot Noir, it’s a straightforward style with a succulent, juicy fruited palate, plenty of ripe fruit intensity and a crisp lick of citrussy acidity on the finish that leaves you wanting more.
