Coyote Pinot Noir, 2021
Shipped and sold by SpearHead Winery
A bountiful nose of cherry liquorice, dark plum and ripe raspberry. The palate is enticing with dark cherry, clove, and engrossing notes of cigar box and toasted wood. There is a freshness that gives energy to the fine tannins providing balance to the wine.
