Red Wine

Redtail Hubbs Creek Vineyard Pinot Noir 2020, Prince Edward County, Ontario V.Q.A., Canada: This Pinot Noir from Kevin Panagapka of 2027 Cellars beautifully reflects its origin, with an alluring bouquet that’s both fragrant and balanced. Sourced from a small, family-run vineyard in Hillier, the grapes were wild-fermented and aged in French oak barrels for 18 months, imparting subtle, well-integrated spice to the ripe red fruit core. The wine showcases an energetic palate, with lightly textured tannins and a hint of volatility that adds character without detracting from its overall elegance. Pair this expressive wine with grilled salmon or roasted duck breast. Pinot Noir food pairings: roasted turkey, roasted chicken, grilled salmon with maple mustard sauce. Drink: 2025 - 2028 42667 13% XD 750 mL $27.00 Score: 90/100. February 2025. Top Rated Red Wine Full Review Add to Shopping Cart
