Another fabulous Pinot Noir from the folks at Closson Chase who seem to be raising the bar year after year, especially for wine made from their own fruit. The nose is light cherry anise, white pepper and cranberry cocktail. On the palate there’s almost a sweet cherry/ cranberry cocktail sensation that grabs the tongue before licorice and a strawberry/raspberry blend take charge lending to a long finish. Leave it in you glass for a spell and you’ll get a nip of earth and some tea leaf notes in the background. Should age beautifully till the end of the decade. Price: $39.95 – Rating: ****
