Rosewood's Natalie Spytkowsky is making a name for herself for mead (honey wine), the only winery in Niagara to be making it. But what she should also be touting on her resume are the natural ferment wines she is making in very small batches. For a small winery this is a big gamble, but a gamble that seems to be paying off. This Pinot is proof of that. Smells are very Pinot-esque with sour cherry, rhubarb and menthol; taste is also very interesting: sour red cherries and earthy with just the right amount of seasoning - thanks to the 10 months in a mix of newer and older French oak barrels. The acidity adds tension to the fruit, giving it a fine finish. Price: $36.00 - Rating: ****+
