Trail Estate Traditional Method Pinot Noir 2017
Prince Edward County, Ontario, CanadaYoung pinot noir vines from Trail Estate's home winery in Hillier, PEC, was fermented in stainless before heading to bottle and 5 years' rest on lees, disgorged in October 2023 with 0 dosage. Glowing peach salmon in hue, this tart pinot leads with smoked stone and ash before subtle white cherry and toasted brioche on the core. The finish is bone dry, grapefruit brisk, and sharp. 9.5%. I feel my bottle is faulted, so I will seek to retaste this in future.Tasted: 27 May 2025Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:ON | $62.00 | 750ml | winery direct |
