Riposte The Dagger Adelaide Hills Pinot Noir 2021

There’s a beautiful freshness to The Dagger. Sweet cherries and mulberries dominate the nose, but there’s more if you linger: violets, roses and mushrooms too. Pristine red fruits fill your mouth, wrapped in a silky smooth veil. Knappstein makes The Dagger without oak – his goal is to show what fresh, unadulterated pinot tastes like. He succeeds! "A wine to commemorate Tim Knappstein's 60th vintage. The complete package here, immediately appealing and bright. Wrapped in perfectly ripe cherry fruits, bramble, plum, violet and dried herbs. Beautifully detailed, assisted by integrated oak, crunchy acid bite and leafy, savoury tannins. Impressive depth... 95pts... Great Value" (Jeni Port, Halliday Wine Companion).
