Provenance Henty Pinot Noir 2024
$55, 13.3% alcohol, screwcap, Henty.

This is an excellent Henty pinot noir. It’s complex, well fruited, energetic and aromatic, and while it’s firm with tannin it still manages to run long through the finish. Boysenberry, red cherry, floral and spice characters come infused with mint, garden herbs, potpourri and flashes of raspberry. It tastes as though it was grown in an abundant garden, which is a great way for a pinot noir to taste. 94 points.
