Product Details
20% of the Pinot for this wine was dried for the final blend, which then spent 20 months in French oak. It's not like other Niagara Pinot Noirs and does not pretend to be. It's a bolder, riper version that gets its complexity from the appassimento method of winemaking that is this winery's signature. Once you understand that, you can appreciate this lovely bolder style wine with its nose of spicy red fruits, cloves, nutmeg, plums, bramble and cassis fruit. It cuts deep on the palate with complex flavours that run the gamut from dark cherry to juicy cassis and plums all backed up by layers of baking spices, solid structure and ripe tannins.
