Domaine Queylus Tradition Pinot Noir 2014

Niagara Peninsula, Ontario, CanadaA half-year along since I tasted this last, and it continues to impress, even more so now. Domaine Queylus is a collective of a dozen Quebecois wine lovers, who have hired Canadian (and Oregonian and Burgundian) winemaker Thomas Bachelder to make the wines of their domaine. Organically grown Lincoln Lakeshore and Twenty Mile Bench grapes were destemmed without crushing before wild yeast ferment and aging in French oak (1/3 new) for 16-20 months. Pretty and plummy, with perfumed raspberry, silky black cherry, tuckering tannins lining the cheeks, with raspberry leather and worn wood on the palate. Tannins are fine and firmly gritty to a warming, spiced finish. Youthful, this will grow with time. 1900 six-packs produced.Tasted: 20 October 2017Tasted by: Prices:
