Calabria Family Wines Three Bridges Pinot Noir 2024
$25, 13.5% alcohol, screwcap, Adelaide Hills.
Poached cherry and strawberry flavours are infused – and no more than that – with notes of potpourri, twiggy spice and cedar. This is a neat, gently smoky Pinot Noir with a modest slip of tannin and high general drinkability. There’s nothing too taxing here; it’s an easy-drinker. 90 points.
