The Foreign Affair 2007 Pinot Noir
Pinot noir is notoriously rot prone, so drying the grapes is a tightrope exercise. Here the rope wobbles. Adding 20 per cent appassimento grapes has infused more richness and weight than Niagara usually delivers, and it has typical cherry with oak, vanilla and spice. Some sourness and volatility sneak onto the finish, joining considerable green tannin. Pinot fans can test drive it at Canoe. Best 2011 to 2013. B
