Queenston Mile Pinot Noir 2017

The 2017 Queenston Mile Vineyard Estate Bottled Pinot Noir, VQA St. David's Bench ($40) is brawny and magnetic. It starts with scents of muddled black cherries, burnt almond and sweet tobacco. Then a suave, satiny sweep of fruit follows. It tastes elegant and seamless, with dark yet poised flavours that echo those found on the nose. A touch of cola and white pepper thread the centre and stay, resonating on the finish. Such finesse. Score - 93.
