Lusine Sleepy Hollow Pinot Noir 2018

Trust your Taste

Cranberry, raspberry and pomegranate meet forest floor, mushroom and a little lavender in this rich Pinot Noir. A generous middle leads to brioche and strawberry-tart notes, with very little tannin grip. Try it if you enjoy rounded Pinot with earthy depth.

How this wine feels

This feels full and indulgent, with very little drying grip. Ripe fruit shares the palate with earthy, savoury detail. A fresh edge balances the rich middle without making it feel lean.

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