WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
The 2022 Shady Lane Cellars Pinot Noir from Leelanau Peninsula is a well-regarded, cool-climate Michigan red, praised for its red fruit (cherry, raspberry), earthy notes (spice, smoke), and light body with silky tannins, offering a classic expression of the region's Pinot Noir with good acidity and balance, often showing cola or oak hints. It's known to be an "estate" wine, reflecting the winery's sustainably farmed vineyards, and delivers a true sense of place.
