Dark red fruit and spice aromas abound in this lush but gentle Pinot Noir with round tannins. Ready to drink now with decanting or cellar 3-5 years.

Vineyard: Home Farm Vineyard
Location: Ontario, Canada
Alcohol: 11-14%

This wine carries the aromatic stamp and delicate, lacy structures of the growing season. Open and expansive bouquet – a spiderweb of dark-red fruit and spice aromas. The wine unfolds on the palate light-footed, yet resonant with deep flavors of black cherries and licorice spice. The mouthfeel is lush but tender – an interlace of round tannin gently containing the ebullient fruit. If drinking now, please decant for an hour or cellar 3-5 years.

Fermented as 100% destemmed fruit in a combination of concrete tanks and big oak tanks. After pressing, the wine was aged in a combination of concrete tank, old foudres and old oak demi-muiud for a total of 8 months.

Grown in clay, loam, silt, limestone, iron and sand soils. Francois Morissette is making the most exciting wines in Canada that we know of in his small corner of Ontario. Along with partner Mel Pearl, the estate now owns two vineyards, both farmed organically, though not certified.
