There are a few grapes that you don't hear much about when discussing the Lake Erie North Shore, Pinot Noir is one of them ... that's because the folks in the LENS know that Pinot needs a cool climate, and even though they are in The Great White North of Ontario they are in the hottest part, and winemakers down there don't want to waste too much time on a grape that they might not get good results from. The boys at Muscedere seem to have a different philosophy, they'll give anything a go, and because of this they are one of the few growing and making Pinot Noir in the area. The nose on this wine just stinks, it was hard for me to push through - but I am a professional so I followed thru - after all we drink wine for the taste, right? Boy I am glad I did. The palate more than makes up for that stinky nose with loads of sour cherry and spice with a touch of the earthy. Really quite the palate pleaser, and hopefully with some time that nose will straighten up and fly right. Price: $25.00 - Rating: ****
