Clay Shannon Pinot Noir (USA)

This is definitely one of this year’s most exciting new discoveries. Yes, it’s Pinot Noir... but not as you know it! This is more rich and complex than you would expect, with flavours of plum, dried cherry and vanilla. Multidimensional, and a real standout.

The wine tastes full of fresh and dried cherries as well plum. On the palate, flavours of vanilla, dried cherry and sweet tobacco.

Clay Shannon Pinot Noir comes from a single vineyard called Long Valley Ranch. It’s tucked amongst the fertile valley floor between two 3,000 ft mountain ranges! Once the wine is pressed, it's barrel aged in 25% new French oak for 10 months. 

Drink this wine with pork, duck or lamb, or pizza for an easy pairing.
