Book Contact Us Home Heart of Wine is pleased to continue its wine reviews. Three B.C. Pinot Noirs were selected. This is the first vintage of Pinot Noir produced under the Oak Bay label. Back of label says this wine is bursting with ripe fruit flavours with plum and cherry aromas. Back of label also states that this wine has rich chewy tannins and that it should improve with several years age.
Food pairing suggestion is with French onion soup.
Nice balance of tannins and acidity along with cherry, oak and toasty flavours make this wine a good wine to drink by itself or with roast game dishes. Some beginners may find this wine a little too acidic but probably will get even better with a few years of aging. Favourite wine of the wines reviewed by 3 of the 6 tasters. B.C. Back of label says this wine is aged in French Oak and has ripe cherry, blackberry and anise aromas with blackcurrant and raspberry flavours. However, taste disappoints as acidity and tannin levels are too high and overbearing.
