Inniskillin Pinot Noir Single Vineyard Series Montague Vineyard

The nose is quite intense- red cherry, strawberry coulis, cinnamon, clove, pomegranate, mocha and florals of violet and geranium. The palate it dry and surprisingly tannic …

Un peu lourd, sucré et sur la chauffe. Pas mauvais mais moins mon style.

Second tasting this year. Nose of tobacco reminiscent of Clan pipe tobacco, caramel, sweet spice and cherry on the nose. Dry, medium(+)-high acidity, medium(-) soft tannin, medium alcohol and medium body. Palate of cherry, sour kirsch, and savory spicy notes. Beautiful balance, structured and good length dry-spicy finish ending on a high note.

Medium(-) ruby, translucent, fast moving narrow tears, slightly visocus @ 13% abv. Medium aromas of small red fruit, strawberry, stewed red fruit, soil, savory notes. Dry, medium(+) acidity, medium ripe tannin, medium alcohol and body. Palate exhibits strawberry, raspberry, leather, Elegant and well balanced, dry yet pleasant texture. Displays excellent length and good showing of ripe tannins in finish.
