Le Clos Jordanne Village Reserve Pinot Noir 2006, VQA Niagara Peninsula
Pinot Noir
Ontario, Canada
$30.00 (33894)
The Village Reserve is the least expensive and best value of the five le Clos Jordanne pinots in 2006. It combines young vine fruit from the large Talon Ridge site atop the Escarpment, and de-selected barrels from other single vineyards. It is the second deepest coloured of the five and may age as well as any. The nose is fairly intense with some piquant, floral cran-raspberry fruit and a cedary, earthy background. It's mid-weight, sinewy and quite tannic but has some mid-palate elegance and good flavour integration on the finish. Very good to excellent length. Decant for aeration. Best late 2009 to 2013. Score - 88. (David Lawrason, www.davidlawrason.com, Dec. 2008)

Fantastic example of Niagara Pinot Noir. Typical earthy must on the nose, with lots of fruit. Sleek, supple texture, well balanced, with soft tannins and a flawless finish. Serve with pork tenderloin or lamb chops.

hype hype hype and more hype.
a decent, simple pinot noir.
even at 25 bucks it's overpriced. there are $12-18 chilean and french pinots that are just as good if not better.
