2014 Norman Hardie County Pinot Noir – $45.00 – Winery Only – ****½ – The nose on this wine is perfumed with lots of violet climbing out of the glass, buried underneath all those flowers you find ripe cherry. Honestly if you aren’t taking a minute to absorb the nose on this wine before your first sip, you’re doing it wrong. When you take your first sip you are greeted with the nose in reverse with fresh cherry taking over your palate and violet flavours that fill your whole mouth, Beautiful acidity keeps this light on the palate and a nice long elegant floral finish. Simply put this wine is fantastic and may be the best County Pinot Norm has made to date.
