Mud House 2020 Central Otago Pinot Noir 750ml

Sweet, juicy blackberry and black cherry fruit abound in the open and fruity 2020 Pinot Noir (Central Otago), which skips along as if delighted to be alive. There's brightness and freshness, with good grip making this more than just a quaffing wine – although it could easily be drunk by the gallon. It's not particularly complicated, but it's well made and provides a lot of immediate pleasure.
