Lusine Annapolis Vineyards Pinot Noir 2018

Trust your Taste

Black cherry, blueberry and dark berries meet cola, clove and tarragon in this expressive Pinot Noir. Soft velvet texture is balanced by prominent, crisp acidity. Try it if you enjoy richer Pinot with a distinctly lively finish.

Generous fruit and rounded texture balanced by vivid freshness favour Broad palates. PalateKey groups wines by how they feel, helping you find styles you enjoy. Your own taste comes first.

This suits you if you enjoy rich Pinot with crisp acidity, dark fruit and herbal spice.

It may not suit you if you prefer very soft acidity or a light, neutral red.

How this wine feels

This has a generous middle and a little fine grip, but freshness strongly defines the finish. Ripe fruit sits alongside herbs and spice. It is rounded in texture and vivid in feel.

The sliders show how strongly each characteristic comes through. Higher does not mean better.
