Wow Edward, good review! I agree with ya brother. It's a nice rich/ complex Cali pinot. At $32 it's actually a deal. Most Cali Pinots that share the same pazazz roll in at around $50 or higher. Kudos to the wine maker and the LCBO for no marking it up!
Description: Med garnet, med+ intensity on the nose. A lot going on with rhubarb, cranberry, strawberry, pine, allspice, violets & earth tones. On the palate, dry, soft tannins, med+ acidity, med- weight, balanced, long length. Rhubarb, cranberry, strawberry, pomegranate, cherry, suede, pine & light earth tones. Complex wine, good quality. Food friendly or drink on it's own. Compliments turkey well. Score: 9+/10, value: 8+/10, Total: 18/20
