Coyote Pinot Noir, 2020
Shipped and sold by SpearHead Winery
This is an intensely perfumed wine with dark fruit aromas of cassis and blackberry followed by hints of dried oregano and clove. Earthy notes of leather and forest floor add to the complexity of this wine. Overall it is well-balanced with fine tannin and deep colour extraction.
