Windrush Estate Vintner’s Reserve Pinot Noir 2018 (ON$ 34.95 from the winery direct)
I have a local Pinot to share with you today – and I think most of you already know how enamored I am by Ontario Pinot, and this one is no exception.
Enter Windrush Estate‘s Vintner’s Reserve Pinot Noir 2018. Made with grapes grown in Niagara, this was a beautiful representation of what an Ontario Pinot can be. I got notes of stewed strawberries and raspberries, dried red flowers, wet forest floor, some twigs, cloves, and star anise. This medium-bodied pinot had beautifully integrated tannins and was so fresh and pleasant on the palate.
I paired this with @minimalistbaker’s mushroom lentil stew over mashed potatoes, and well, let’s just say the bottle emptied pretty quickly. Pinots are always such a great pairing to earthier dishes like this one and this was another winner.
