Villa Maria Pinot Noir Private Bin 2019
Marlborough, South Island, New ZealandFading strawberry notes and earthy mushroom aromas are creeping into this wine that needs drinking now. Canada seems to specialize in getting international releases late, and once in the monopoly system, the time to shelf is even further exacerbated. The attack is soft and earthy with dried herbs and wood spice with some tired notes coming through the back end. Best with grilled salmon burgers or an older soft cheese.Tasted: 08 May 2023Tasted by: Prices:BC | $25.99 | 750ml | BCL Stores |
