The 2022 Pinot Noir Avni offers a fantastic nose out of the gate, with ripe cherries. A joyful wine, it’s floral and pretty, retaining lovely freshness, with a chalky texture and a clean finish.

A mass of cherry-berry fruits, violet and lavender tones introduce the 2022 Pinot Noir Avni. This possesses a lovely energy, with liquid florals and ripe wild berries cascading throughout. Brisk acidity maintains fantastic balance as the 2022 leaves a crunchy staining of minerality and edgy tannins that add youthful tension.
 
Winemaker Note
Avni 2022 PN is focused and flavorful, yet harmonious and balanced, with an overlying elegance and velvety mouthfeel. Red fruits dominate the flavor profile with some Black Cherry, spice, black tea, fresh herbs, and a hint of Black Cherry, tar and rose petal, finishing with a round texture. It is versatile, pairing well with hot smoked salmon and roasted poultry, even grilled meats.
