The weather in Adelaide has been cold and the one, bright, sunny day we had, was an opportunity to try something conducive to the conditions………although, to be honest, wine drinking conditions are 24 hours, 7 days a week 😁. The Pinot on tasting was from Byron and Harold in WA, costs just under $30 a bottle but obviously cheaper if you buy multiple. On the nose, it’s quintessentially cherries, in the glass, alot darker colour with a nice shiny almost filtered appearance. On tasting, there is a hint of sweetness from the vanillin oak and an almost overipened strawberry type flavour. It was definitely velvety smooth, however it finished a little short for my tastebuds. This is certainly not a poor trait as this would be a superb, refreshing starter drink on a warmer day. The Rose and Thorns Pinot Noir from Byron and Harold finished with a Welly’s Wine Score of 79/100.
