2012 Inniskillin Montague Vineyard Pinot Noir – Vintages 997353 – $29.95 – ****+ – Right away when you pour this wine you will get sucked in with floral aromas and bright ripe cherry. This wine is both intense and elegant at the same time. The flavours are tons of cherry with a finish that has a slight earth note but more spice mingled in there. This is the sort of wine that I say shouldn’t be paired with any food whatsoever. This is well priced and ready to drink.
2012 Gilmour Orus Chardonnay/Riesling/Pinot Grigio – Vintages 441915 – $19.95 – **** – This is the White counterpart to the wonderful Corazon which is made at Karlo estates with the help of former Toronto Maple Leaf Dour Gilmour. Easy drinking and food friendly this offers soft flavours of apple, peach and citrus with perfectly balanced acidity. The finish on this wine does stick around for a while which would make this a perfect wine to sit with some popcorn and Netflix on a Friday night.
The Gilmour is lovely. Thank you, what a good idea. We will have it on our Movie night.
