Oakridge Over The Shoulder Pinot Noir 2024 vav 40 per cent Touriga FrancaIt is of a bright juicy Beaujo esque wine that is both easy to drink and refreshing at the same time. Dark bright red. Summer pudding nose cherry wild strawberry and red currants with the faintest hint of vanilla pod. Full flavoured with black cherry pomegranate plums and spice. It has depth and weight but also structured with sappy satiny tannins and a pleasant savoury texture.
