Bachelder Bator Gamay Noir - Pinot Noir PTLG 2020
Four Mile Creek, Niagara Peninsula, Ontario, CanadaThis P.T.L.G.(Passez Toutes les Grappes) is Bachelder's take on Bourgogne's traditional Passe-tout-grains, a blend of pinot noir and gamay. This blends 2/3 Gamay Noir with 1/3 Pinot Noir, with fruit off their Bator (part of Line Two Vineyards), and Willms Vineyards, and vines dating back to 1998. Fragrant and finessed, with perfumed cherries, raspberries, crushed plum on a softly silken palate, framed with long, fine tannins. Acidity feels effortlessly placed, light and unobtrusive, to carry this medium bodied through a baking spiced finish. Enjoy now, liberally, with a slight chill.Tasted: 05 May 2022Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:ON | $27.95 | 750ml | winery online/direct |
