{"product_id":"2024-shaw-smith-pinot-noir","title":"2024 Shaw + Smith Pinot Noir","description":"\u003cp\u003eAdelaide Hills pinot can sometimes skew a bit simple and tutti-frutti, but Adam Wadewitz has steadily guided Shaw + Smith into much more serious territory. The focus here is on the higher, cooler pockets of Lenswood and Piccadilly, places where the vines really have to work for a living.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2024 season threw some wild weather at flowering, which naturally thinned out the crop. While there isn't heaps of it to go around, those small bunches gave the fruit a massive amount of concentration. They destemmed most of it and let the ferment tick over gently, keeping the whole vibe fresh and unforced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a darker, more brooding style than previous years, moving away from simple berries into wild bramble territories, damp earth, and a bit of chinotto spice. The wood stays entirely in the background, leaving a solid, gravelly tannin profile to do the heavy lifting on the finish. It is a proper, structural red with plenty of cellaring bones, but it has enough upfront charm to pour right now if you want a pinot with real muscle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95 points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"There is lovely energy and vibrancy, with a savory finish that will evolve nicely in the bottle.\"\u003cbr\u003e- Ryan Montgomery (James Suckling)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e","brand":"Shaw + Smith","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44077754712107,"sku":"2024 Shaw + Smith Pinot Noir","price":55.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2572\/9722\/files\/2022Shaw_SmithPinotNoir_bcde3d34-38da-44bc-b4b0-750d9c04dc66.png?v=1781581816","url":"https:\/\/www.differentdrop.com\/products\/2024-shaw-smith-pinot-noir","provider":"Different Drop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
