RKS 2025 Canadian Wine: A County Pinot Noir From The Grange of Prince Edward County in Ontario

Posted byRobert K Stephen (CSW)Posted inFood, WineTags:, , , ,

The winery website describes its Farmer Series Pinot Noir “as a robust terroir driven County Pinot” aged 10 months in French oak.

Aroma: Black cherry, raspberry held together in a light smoky frame.

Palate: Too smooth to be considered robust! Definitely tannins but not lending to a robust categorization and that’s fine by me. Somewhat of a chalky texture and a peppery influence on the thin finish. Raspberry and Catanian cactus pear.

Personality: “Farmer” from a Canadian perspective equates to adjectives of everyday, basic and decent then this Farmer’s Series Pinot Noir foots the bill.

Food Match: There is an emphasis on farm to table in The County. And there are plenty of farms in The County. If at the winery at The Grange Vineyard Kitchen why not The Grange Burger?

Cellarbility: Consume before 2026 winds down.

Price: $33. CDN.

RKS 2025 Canadian Wine Rating: 88/100.
