Reviews and Ratings

Brent Gushowaty rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

In the glass, the wine is pale with a ruby rim. On the nose a quite aromatic blend of cherries and baking spices. The palate follows through nicely on the nose showing bright cherry fruit and baking spice, with some red currant. It's very well balanced, shy of medium in body and intensity and has a fairly long finish.

The wine is made from up to five clones of pinot noir and aged in Nevers french oak. The winemaker is Giordano Venturi. Venturi Schulze is a small winery in Cobble Hill on Vancouver Island. It's total annual case production for all its wines is about 1500 cases. Since its creation in 1991, the winery has focused intensely on quality and organic practices, making wines only from estate fruit. They were the pioneers of "tenting" late ripening grapevines such as pinot noir in their very cool climate location to gain an extra two to three weeks of ripening. In some years their pinot noirs can ripen as fully as those in the Okangan Valley.
