From the very good 2010 vintage in Ontario, this Pinot Noir maturation took place in French oak for over 10 months and alcohol comes in at 13%.
This wine opened up with an attractive bouquet of wild strawberry, plum, gentle wood spices and vanilla notes. On the mouthfeel, light-medium bodied with soft seductive fruit and spices flavours, fresh acidity and silky tannins. The ending is so smooth with those same soft berry fruit, sweet spices and fine tannins lingering. What you get from this Pinot Noir is a wine with great harmony, elegance and finesse, exactly the style of Pinot Noir that hits all the right notes for me. Strongly recommended, score 91 points.
Purchased March 30, 2013 at the Wine Rack in Ottawa at $19.95
