WTN: Stoney Ridge Baco Noir Reserve 2005

Niagara Penninsula.

Odd, leafy-like nose.

Rich, fleshy and somewhat sweet berry fruit, smoky, good clean acidity, rather lean in structure, tobacco, slightly charred, spicy, with an odd (but not unpleasant) rhubard-like tang, turning green and leafy toward the end.

Good berry fruit on the fairly long finish.

Despite this being a rather strange wine, I enjoyed it very much.

Screwcap closure.

Purchased at $15.05 (Canadian).

As always, thanks for the notes, Bruce!

I haven't tried this Baco, but might pick some up as an accompaniment to pizza or ribs.

Paul B just got the `05 from Pelham. Nice one Bruce.
