Tomich Pinot Noir 2024
$28, 13.5% alcohol, screwcap, Adelaide Hills.
This is a minty Pinot Noir with fresh red cherry, twiggy herbs and creamy, cedarwood-infused characters combing to pleasant effect. It’s not a profound wine but it’s a charming one. It’s light- to medium-weight, fresh, juicy, and both savoury and fruity at once. It works. 90 points.
