Kylie scored this wine: 90/100

This simple, easy drinking California Zinfandel is a fruit bomb of cherry, plum and candied strawberries. Deep ruby red with hints of cinnamon and clove. Good balance, soft tannins and a touch of warmth gives this wine great mouthfeel. Improves with good company!

This Burgundian style Pinot Noir is an easy drinking and well priced Pinot. Medium red brick in colour with notes of blackcurrant, raspberry, black cherry and a hint of Brett on the nose. Palate is smooth with a nice mouthfeel of dried plums and medium tannins that finish nicely. Would pair well with duck or gamey meats. Available in Nova Scotia at Harvest Wines & Spirits for $19.99
