Dark ruby in colour with medium to medium+ intensity.

Positives: Now this is a great Pinot featuring bold flavours of cherry, pomegranate, rhubarb, cranberry, beets, pine & hints of barnyard. Medium body with medium minus tannins, good acidity & long length.

Negatives: None.

Interesting Points: I had the privilege of tasting this wine last year at the New Zealand Wine Tasting & it was one of my favourite wines that were offered. I’m happy to find that the LCBO now carries it, and even better was that I picked up this wine for $31.55.

Drink now or over the next 2 years on its own or pair it with Ahi tuna.

Out of 5 stars, I rated this wine: 5

Plum purple in colour, this rich, juicy wine offers enticing aromas of sweet ripe cherries, damson plums, and rose petals that carry through on the palate. Fine grained tannins combined with streaks of earthiness, savoury notes and pomegranate fruits leave a pleasant, medium long finish.
