Softer, silkier, more fruit-forward. That’s the goal with Praxis Pinot, and for this vintage, that’s the wine. The nose is light, with wild strawberries and sweet, fresh red cherries under a lightly grassy herbal note. Generous fruit continues on the palate (some crunchy redcurrant notes carry acid beautifully), with fine, silky tannin and a lip-smacking dry finish. A real summer jewel.
