No question, this is the best value Pinot Noir at the LCBO. The wine is ruby-coloured, offering cherry and red berry notes on the nose with a thread of minerality. It’s fresh and easy drinking, light to medium-bodied on the palate with just enough spice and fruit to make it a great bargain wine. Food match: mushroom tart, roasted chicken.
$10.95. LCBO #341602
