Bright light day-glo pink colour. Reductive, rubber hose nose with some slightly spicy, plum notes. Dry, medium-light bodied, spicy, tangy, plum-cherry-apple flavours with a very crisp, unoaked, effervescent finish. Ready-to-drink. This 100% Pinot Noir has 12.5% alcohol and now 13 g/L residual sugar with a crown capsule. Not up to the 2015 (**/**+) with 88.5-points which was released on November 25, 2017 at $29.95. TONY ASPLER / 87-points - Reductive, smoky, struck-flint nose of red cherries; light-bodied, dry with a minerally, sour cherry flavour. At $29.95 is overpriced sparkler does not offer much joy! |

Traditional method, VQA Twenty Mile Bench, Niagara Escarpment, Ontario TASTING NOTE: For ease of opening, this is sealed under crown cap. This méthode traditionelle, 100% pinot noir was hand harvested, whole-cluster pressed and rested on its lees for 12 months before disgorgement. It bubbles over with frothy mousse and a delightful array of barely off-dry palate flavours with bright red currant, ripe strawberry and oodles of tang to the fore. It's medium weight and showcases a monumentally lengthy lip-smacking finish and aftertaste. Pour with an assortment of appetizers on the patio.
