Franca's Vineyard Pinot Noir 2025
$22, 13.5% alcohol, screwcap, South Australia.
This is a pretty package. The fruit is served juicy, the wine’s varietal character is kept faithfully intact, it feels both fresh and refreshing all the way through the palate and it finishes dry. It’s good value and good drinking. 89 points.
