Tawse Winery Cherry Ave Vineyard Pinot Noir 2020
Twenty Mile Bench, Niagara Peninsula, Ontario, CanadaFrom their Twenty Mile Bench estate Cherry Avenue Vineyard, planted on loamy clays in 2003. This opens with a deeply spiced nose, including star anise, pine, pipe tobacco, and dark gingerbread which pervade the medium+ wine, scenting black raspberry, dark plum, sarsaparilla. Ample wood tannins are sinewy, and acidity is moderate. There is a lot to unravel in this, so grill up some herbed pork / veg and give it some airtime.Tasted: 09 January 2023Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:Grape: Pinot Noir
