2023 Shaw + Smith Pinot Noir

International Wine Challenge - May 2024

Bright yet subdued, still youthful nose. Red fruits sous bois and bakery spice nuances, lively pallet, fresh and edgy with elegant concentration and sweet persistence. 95 Points.

Mike Bennie, Halliday Wine Companion - April 2024

It's got bold perfume, hallmark cherry and cranberry fruit characters, a sketch of dried herbs, black pepper, charry spices and some new leather characters. While pinot descriptors roll off the tongue, per se, there's also a darker, more brooding note in the wine, a teetering into dry red territory over more pure and flowing pinosity – a niggle for some seeking gloss and silkiness over a more guttural, firm experience. And in that, a stake in the ground has to be made. 90 Points.
