Featherstone Pinot Noir 2013

Featherstone's limited production (140 cases) 2013 Pinot Noir has an intriguing rustic profile that showcases the complexity of wines from one of Canada's premiere sub appelations, the Twenty Mile Bench. The expressive nose shows cherry, pepper, dried leaves, cured meat, and leather notes that highlight the savoury characteristics of this delicious food-friendly Pinot. Smooth, refreshing and beautifully balanced, this medium-light bodied Pinot has a long cran-cherry and herbal finish that's perfectly suited for enjoying at your table. Pair with autumn and spring meals such as pork roast stuffed with sausage, dried fruit, and nuts, or opt for a lighter summer dish and enjoy with savoury grilled salmon kebabs. Enjoy 2017-2020.
