A Canadian Pinot Noir

Wine Reviewed
Equifera Pinot Noir VQA 2008 12.7 % alcohol $10.

Let’s start with the marketing materials. “Tasting Note : Medium ruby red colour; aromas of red cherry, spice, with faint earthy notes; dry, light body, rounded on the palate, with flavours of tangy red fruit. Serving Suggestion : Try with grilled salmon, bbq chicken and mushroom dishes.” And now for my review.

At the first sips this wine was earthy presenting aggressive acidity and round tannins. A homemade quiche brimming with spinach, cottage cheese, and Parmesan cheese boasting a sesame seed topping rendered the drink’s acidity tangy and its tannins disappeared. When the libation encountered the main dish, a boxed Baked Ziti Siciliano doused with grated Parmesan cheese, it became thin and did not offer much fruit. A delicious square of Nougat-Praline filled Swiss Milk Chocolate really muted my glass’s contents.
