Bachelder Wismer Parke Wild West End Pinot Noir 2019

Twenty Mile Bench, Niagara Peninsula, Ontario, CanadaThomas Bachelder is one of Canada's leading chardonnay and pinot noir specialists honed through time in Bourgogne and Oregon and years in the vineyards of his Niagara home base. The Wild West End Wismer-Parke is taken from the westernmost rows of the Vineland Bench vineyard, planted to a mystery clone of pinot noir rooted into reddish magnesium oxide and dolomitic-limestone clay soils. This has more gravitas than the classic Wismer Park Pinot Noir, imbued with even more sultry ferrous notes within the dark cherry, black raspberry, crushed red florals, dried leaf matrix. Tannins are fine, yet firm and structural, while acidity remains lofted and limestone lit. Quite striking, and special.Tasted: 22 July 2022Tasted by: Prices:
