Coyote's Run Estate Winery Black Paw Vineyard Pinot Noir 2013   

Niagara-On-The-Lake, Ontario V.Q.A., Canada

If the Rare Vintage Pinot Noir is the lead violinist, even ethereal viola, the Black Paw is the richer, deeper cello for 2013. Fleshy ripe black cherry, yet balanced again with that racy acidity. Deft craftsmanship. Pair with duck comfit.
