WTN: 2013 Peller Estate Baco Noir (Ontario VQA)

The 2013 Peller Estate Baco Noir pours with a deep, dark garnet core that turns bright ruby at the meniscus.

The bouquet shows fantastic aromas of plums, prunes and brackish, wild, Vitis riparia. The texture has a bright, clean, crisp, invigorating and tart entry with tart blue plum flavours that fan across the palate. There's excellent fruitiness.

The texture is warm, balanced, clean and cleansing, with acidity leading and tannin playing back-up.

The finish is crisp all the way across the palate, with a clean and bright personality. There's prune jam and tartness on the finish.

This Baco has 12.5% alc./vol. It costs $10.95 and can be found on regular list at the LCBO. It's bottled with a screwcap closure.

An excellent, clean Baco...at an exemplary price!!

Wow, that is an excellent price Paul. Might be around here but will cost a tad more I`d say .

Hey Bob,

Yes, it is very reasonably priced - and I'd even say fairly priced. Most other Bacos are now in the $15+ range. For a well oaked Baco to get to that price, I have no problem. But it really peeves me off when I try wines that used to be oaked but are nowadays unoaked, nevertheless creeping up in price.

Peller's is well made, and the 2013 really packs a juicy mouthful.
