Butternut 2019/20 Pinot Noir

Description

91 Points Tasting Panel

The Butternut wines are fairly new to Alberta but are already wildly popular south of the border. This is fantastic Pinot Noir, with real varietal character and a range of flavours that are rarely seen at this price point.

“Spiced red berries merge with black tea and sage to bring the palate alive. Orange peel and plum strike a chord with savoury notes of balsamic, with a cherry-vanilla liqueur aspect. Yummy!”
-Tasting Panel

Crafted from specially-selected Pinot Noir grapes from the best wine regions around California, this choice is versatile enough to pair with whatever is on the menu, be it food or fun! Silky, smooth and flavorful, this wine is dominated by layers of red and dark berries, with aromas of vanilla filling the nose.

Aroma: Tart cherry and brambly blackberry, cherry and pomegranate aroma. Hints of vanilla and dried herbs frame the bright, ripe fruit expression.

Palate: Juicy, brambly and lighter in style. Tart cherries and black cherries, and blackberry fruits with a hint of vanilla from the French oak influence.

Pair with ripe cheese and Charcuterie plate, Fried Chicken Sandwich, Burger, Pizza, or any savoury sandwich you can imagine.
