Murdoch Hill Apollo Pinot Noir 2022

Region: SA- Adelaide Hills
Vegan-friendly Sustainably-made

  "Whiffs of cap gun, warm slate, a bit of flint too, plus dark cherry, salted liquorice. Savoury start, very. Smoky and flinty to taste, an override on dark cherry fruit, plum, licks of liquorice again and lingers with smokiness again. Tannins...
