| BEAM CITY PINOT NOIR 2021 VQA Beamsville Bench, Niagara Escarpment |
| Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
BACHELDER |
| A REPEAT of the 2021 that was released on September 21, 2024 and will be available just after Easter Monday. Medium-deep pale red colour. Attractive, ripe, fairly toasty, bright, ripe red plum nose with some gently earthy notes. Dry, medium bodied and nicely structured with good Pinot Noir ripe plum-raspberry fruit typicity complemented by some complex, faintly earthy notes on the lingering, very slightly bricky finish. It has 12.5% alcohol and under 2 g/L residual sugar with lot number L2023-06-23 on the lower part of the glass bottle. Not reassessed - it is tasty but perhaps not a detour at the price. |

| TASTING NOTE: Beam City but c'mon let us take the liberty to add a qualifier and call this new Bachelder label \"Beam Rock City\" because the lights have come up and the music blasts from the Villages stage. It is what Thomas refers to as \"Goût de Beamsville,\" not something you can put a finger or a palate on per se but there is something intangible about the scents and flavours of multi-Bench fruit sources gathered together as one. The triple \"B\" is an energetic one, a stunner of scintillant activity and more complex than previous Niagara village examples that have come before. A litheness of glycerin and an aromatic perfume of fabric stitched and woven to make this pinot noir sing the songs of the slopes and the hills. Quite plump, with ample fruit and some limestone infiltration that makes for what can be best described as mineral bitters dancing on the palate. Drink 2023-2027. Tasted December 2023. Score - 92 (Michael Godel, winealign.com) |
