The first of the reds, the 2021 Pinot Noir is a deep ruby hue and reveals forward aromas of spice and sun-ripened red cherry, sassafras, and pine. Full-bodied, with ample rounded fruit, it has fine tannins and a coating texture, with meaty red plum and iron-rich earth. A ripe style of red, it’s approachable now.

Score 87/100 · Drink 2023-2028, Joe Czerwinski, Wine Advocate, Mar 2023
Sourced from multiple vineyards and aged just eight months in 15% new French oak, Saintsbury's 2021 Pinot Noir delivers notes of toasted cinnamon, roasted beetroot and ripe cherries. It's medium-bodied on the palate and gently silky, with a crisp, clean finish. Drink it over the next four or five years.
