Newton Johnson Walker Bay Pinot Noir 2019
HANSCORE: 19.5/25
Like that time Liz Olsen played Scarlet Witch; the portrayal has some complexity, but is still quite primary (IE more about the fruit than anything else). Will gain more mystery, given a little time to develop.
The Newton Johnson team are a class act, and their flag ship Hemel-en-Aarde Pinot Noir is often amongst my favourite from the region. This mid-tier Pinot is a great intro to what they can do, with a slightly more gentle barrier to entry (price point).
