Arterra Pinot Noir 2016

Niagara Peninsula, Ontario, CanadaArterra Wines Canada, nee Constellation, nee Vincor, has put its moniker on a pair of labels: this pinot noir and a chardonnay. It’s all Niagara fruit, and some have suggested a portion of it may be from the old Le Clos Jordanne vineyards, although the style has nothing to do with the former CJ. In this case, the wine is young and exuberant, with bright, ripe, almost sweet pinot fruit and a fair bit of oak pushing the rough back end. Not terribly pinot, but many will enjoy this as it is. Serve this with some grilled chicken and mushrooms to best effect.Tasted: 27 April 2018Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
