A delicate fruity pinot noir that would be a good sipping wine. The nose is very tight with mild berry aromas. The...

Always one of my favourite Pinot’s, but this one is not as good as previous vintages. The colour is medium minus garnet, with medium + intensity. The nose shows light cherry wood, rhubarb, slight jammy raspberry, cola cherry, smoked Montreal meat & some mushrooms to give it that earthy Pinot smell and taste. The taste is dry, med minus tannins, med minus body, good acidity, balanced, with long length. The taste is similar to the nose, but you will notice the hot finish due to the 14.5% alcohol. Drink on its own or pair with traditional Pinot dishes like roast duck. Normally this would be a best buy, and for the sale price that I got it for it is, but not for the regular price. Still I enjoyed the wine. Drink now.

Alcohol and eucalyptus on the nose. Very new world in style; sweet and soft. An easy drinking, fruity Pinot that will please most.

Good but not outstanding. Price average for this quality pinot. Unremarkable; an average pinot but very drinkable. An easy wine.
