Description
Canadian winemaker Thomas Bachelder continues to wow with his impressive, expressive Pinots from vineyards in Oregon, Ontario and Burgundy. His excitement for coaxing the most precise articulations of terroir from his various sites is outshone only by the results. Expect a complex, evocative wine with floral and spice notes along with ripe cherry and mineral tones.

Tasting Notes
The Bachelder style shines through all his Pinots from Niagara to Oregon to Burgundy. They are never overdone, always a sense of graceful power and finesse. This gorgeous wine shows fruits of anise, raspberry, ripe cherry and cassis with pretty floral and incense notes. The tannins are evident but smooth and the ripe fruits are bolstered by crunchy minerality and light savoury spice through a long finish. Buy, hold and enjoy years down the road. Score - 93.
