Maybe I’m a little late to the party on this one, but alas not all of these can be as timely as I would like, so if you have some in your cellar this review still applies. Jackson-Triggs is not the winery you first think about when Pinot Noir comes to mind, but with this version they’re making a case to change that. The nose has black raspberry and cherry which helps to mask cinnamon and vanilla elements that appear to be shy but definitely present. Flavours start with white pepper before revealing sour black cherry and cassis with hints of vanilla and a long spiced linger on the finish. Price: $24.95 - Rating: ****
