Tasting Notes
This intriguing wine is made using dried grapes via the appassimento method made famous in Veneto, and comprises 30% Pinot from Reif's estate vineyards in Niagara River, along with 70% Shiraz from the Wiens Farm in the Four Mile Creek sub-appellation. It opens with a sweetly spicy nose of cherry preserves, strawberry, fig, mincemeat, leather, black pepper and anise. Rich, medium-full bodied and nicely concentrated on the palate, with plenty of acidity to counterpoint the sweet fruit core. Great value. Enjoy over the next 2-3 years with braised meat dishes.
