Holy cow, I love a Pinot Noir that's smell a little barnyard (a common characteristic in some Pinot Noir, i.e. earthiness), its like going to the country without leaving the city. Paired right, this can add to the enjoyment of both the food and wine. This light bodied Pinot opened up with red cherry, strawberry, rhubarb, barnyard and smokiness. The mouthfeel was well balanced with lively acidity, good tension between red fruit, rhubarb and oak characteristics like tobacco leaf and smoke, plus silky smooth tannins. This wine has a complex and elegant finish. This is a Pinot Noir that strikes a good balance between fruit and earthiness, strongly recommended.
This wine was purchased on April 16, 2011 LCBO New Release at $ 27.95
