Typical pale garnet. Yum! Dried leaf, caramel, sour cherry, mushroom, tobacco leaf, spicy. With a slight bitter finish.

A Steal for $25!

Heather Wall rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

A light (+)-bodied Niagara Pinot Noir with an air of prettiness. Fresh berries and flowers wrapped in silky tannins with clean refreshing acidity. Absolutely food friendly or easily sipped on it's own. Good pepper finish. Pair with grilled pork chops, grilled chicken breast, pizza, or smores by the campfire.
Tasted: May 2016

Matt Steeves rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Light cherry red with a garnet hue, the nose is very weloming with baking spice, cherry, herbs, dark chocolate. Dry with tart cherry, herbs, and spice. Refreshing acidity with soft tannins make this a great wine to enjoy with cheese or grilled fish or even BBQ pork. Enjoy 2015-2018. Tasted April 2015. 90 points. Matt Steeves - www.quercusvino.ca

Natalie's Review

Tawse Winery Inc. Growers Blend Pinot Noir 2011, Niagara Peninsula, Ontario V.Q.A., Canada: Medium-bodied, silky Niagara red wine, with mocha and spice aromas on the nose of this Pinot Noir. Fleshy ripe cherry aromas and flavours on the palate of this medium-bodied, mouth-watering Pinot Noir from Niagara. Very respected winemaker. Pair with salmon or tuna. Lovely craftsmanship. The 2011 vintage of the Tawse Grower’s Blend Pinot Noir has done well, despite a challenging vintage. Pair with roast chicken. Drink: 2013-2017. 130989 13% XD 750 mL $24.95 Score: 91/100.
