Moss Wood Pinot Noir 2022 Standard Blend 30% merlotThis is the best Moss Wood pinot noir Ive tasted for many, many years. Youthful red purple colour, bright and deep. There are cherry, ginger and iodine peat aromas which are bright and fresh and fruit driven, while the palate is excitingly intense and bright fruited, with a core of ripe fruit sweetness and assertive but nicely balanced tannin structure. The wine fills out beautifully on the finish and rolls on for a very long time. Very impressive
