Flat Rock Gravity Pinot Noir 2013, Niagara Peninsula, Ontario V.Q.A., Canada: The winery uses the gentlest methods to press the grapes and make the wine via a gravity flow system rather than pumping (thus the name gravity on the label). Then the wine was aged in French oak barrels for 18 months. I've long been a fan of Flat Rock's Pinot Noirs, especially the Gravity which I think is even stronger in 2013 over last year. Aromas of fleshy cherry yet it's balanced with racy acidity. Medium ruby hue with cherry accents, polished tannins, silky smooth texture and medium bodied weight. Gorgeous cherry-berry aromas and flavours on the mid-palate. Then it finishes with wisps of black raspberry and vanilla toast. This red wine is so vibrant and so fantastically great year after year. Try it with roast chicken or turkey. Drink: 2016-2019. 1560 12.90% XD 750 mL  $30.25 Score: 92/100. October 15, 2016 Top Rated Red Wine. Remarkable Roast Chicken Wine Full Review
