This is the first vintage of Shaw & Smith Pinot that has included fruit from the wineries Lenswood vineyard in Adelaide Hills, stylistically it is different to the 2012, with the wine having more delicate aromatics, yet retaining good drive on the varietal palate.
The wine is a youthful light red in colour, the nose provides floral red cherry with sweet baking spices. The palate is soft on entry and continues the elegant red cherry line, tannins are soft and integrated and help support a second wave of more savoury red fruits on the mid to back palate. The finish is drying, giving gentle spice and a touch of earth.
Drinking well now, and will continue to evolve over the next decade.
