2020 | Smith & Sheth 'Cru' Heretaunga Chardonnay | Hawke's Bay Lemelson Vineyards The 2021 Pinot Noir WestA sophisticated, pure and silky textured bouquet, fresh peach and red apple, salty air and a clay stone mineral quality. The oak seam is noticeable but not overdone, with a nut and baking spice complexity. A powerful satin texture is contrasted by a core of fruit, flavours of new and mild toasted barrel. Refreshing, lengthy and complex. 95 Pts Decanter
