Cave Spring Vineyards 2016 Pinot Noir Estate

Beamsville Bench, Niagara Peninsula, Ontario

$39.95

Selected fruit from five individual blocks at Cave Spring Vineyard goes into making this beautiful and refined Pinot Noir. Gentle handing and aging in older (second and third use) French oak barrels has nicely framed the core of red fruit with some fragrant spice notes and effectively softened the tannins. This is firm thoroughout —Beamsville Bench Pinot tends towards muscle and sinew, it’s bigger boned than expressions from other sub-appellations — but with real charm, focus and length. This is right up there in terms of quality. Drink now to 2025. (91/100)
