Hidden Bench, Locust Lane Rose, Beamsville Bench

1 hr decant. Grapefruit, soft herbs, peach. Reductive pepper notes, still quite tight. Should be much better in time.

Blend of 94% Pinot Noir and 6% Viognier, the fresh, fragrant, and highly aromatic nose has pretty aromas of red cherry, strawberry, red currant, white pepper spice, and wildflower with hints of minerals. It's medium-full bodied on the dry palate with very good concentration and flavours of red currant, red cherry, and strawberry in a slightly tangy profile. Some dried herbs add further interest. It has juicy acidity, while the finish is crisp, long and well-balanced.
