PINOT NOIR
Pinot Noir is the traditional grape of Burgundy and is one of the toughest grapes to grow -- often referred to as the "heart-break grape" -- but the effort is well worth the investment. Our Pinot Noir 2005 is our first vintage. It is rich, delicate and velvet smooth, with flavours of red berries and a touch of spice. Perfect with Vancouver Island lamb.

"The wine is bold, with good intensity of fruit flavours, with a finish that hints of spice and even chocolate." John Schreiner, AppellationAmerica.com
