| Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
THIRTY BENCH |
| A REPEAT of the recommended 2021 (**+) that was released on June 18, 2022 at $22.95. Here is my updated tasting note. Bright pale salmon pink colour with a slightly spicy, elegant, faintly plummy, ripe, red apple nose along with some floral notes. Dry, medium to medium-light bodied, bright, harmonious, crisp, fresh, ripe, red-apple-melon-cherry flavours with a lingering, crisp, unoaked, mineral-tinged finish. This 2021 is a blend of 66% Pinot Noir, 18% Pinot Meunier, 14% Gamay Noir and 2% Riesling with 12.1% alcohol, 3 g/L residual sugar and 5.8 g/L total acidity (no lot number 2063 on the lower part of the glass bottle). Screwcap closure. |

| TASTING NOTE: Niagara's climate encourages wines with a driving fresh acidity, and this superb rosé from one of the region's most renowned producers is a mouth-watering example. It shows lifted, brightly articulated cherry, strawberry, melon and spice, with refined structure. A wine that will enhance any meal. [The National Wine Awards of Canada did not include a tasting note.] Score - 90 (National Wine Awards of Canada, 2022) |
