Shadow Point Pinot Noir 2023

Cooling Pacific breezes through Monterey's Central Coast vineyards bring brightness and elegance to this expressive Pinot Noir. Bursting with juicy red cherry and raspberry, it's layered with a hint of earthiness and a subtle whisper of oak for added depth. A silky texture and lively acidity keep it fresh and vibrant. This is a well-balanced, versatile wine that shows why this region is renowned for Pinot Noir - refined, expressive, and easy to enjoy.

A classic Pinot Noir, this wine has enough body to stand up to the richness of roast duck or a creamy wild mushroom risotto, yet also complements the delicate flavours of simply grilled salmon.

Boutinot, the guys responsible for this wine, is a big name in the UK's wine scene and are behind many labels seen on shelves up and down the country. Paul Boutinot kicked things off in 1980, starting with importing wines and soon partnering with winemakers around the globe. They've been working with California growers for several years now with most of the range being sourced from fruit grown in the warm Lodi region. Their secret is in backing passionate winemakers who aren't afraid to push the envelope, always aiming for wines that really capture the essence of their regions. This, along with providing excellent value for money, is something they've really nailed.
