Tread Softly Pinot Noir 2024 Wine Review

Natalie's Score: 90/100

Tread Softly Pinot Noir is an expressive red with lifted aromas of ripe cherry, raspberry, and cranberry, accented by subtle notes of spice and soft earth. The palate is light to medium-bodied, dry, and silky, with lively acidity and 12.5 percent alcohol giving it a graceful, refreshing finish. Serve it just below room temperature to let its bright fruit and gentle spice unfold. The silky-smooth Pinot Noir is all about ripe cherries and subtle spice, with a lingering finish that stays with you long after the last drop. I would pair it with duck breast seared until the skin is crackling crisp, then sliced thin to reveal a perfectly pink interior, served with a cherry reduction sauce that mirrors the wine’s fruit notes and a wild mushroom risotto that complements its earthy undertones. Fascinating fact: Tread Softly embraces a philosophy of mindful, approachable winemaking, crafting wines that are easy to enjoy yet expressive of their Niagara terroir. Not only are Tread Softly wines certified sustainable and bottled in lightweight glass, but the winery also plants a tree for every case sold. So far, they have planted 2.5 million trees, the equivalent of taking 35,000 cars off the road. A fascinating fact about Pinot Noir – it is one of the oldest grape varieties in the world, dating back more than 2,000 years. It is also one of the most genetically unstable grapes, which is why you find so many different clones and expressions of it around the world.
