Winemaker’s Notes:
Rich, full flavour, with deep current flavour and berry aroma. Another vintage year resulting in an exceptional Baco Noir of reserve quality. This will age wonderfully in a wine cellar. Matched with grilled or roast red meats, lamb, dark poultry, pizza, tomato based pastas and cheeses and dark chocolate.
Price: 750 mL $12.95

The first time I tasted this wine was at Erie Shore’s open house in late November. It was a cold and rainy day and the event was held outside under their covered patio.
The reason I mention this is because this was they had just released their 2007 Baco Noir vintage and they were offering glasses of it that day.
I purchased a glass and remember how much I really didn’t care for it then. The problem was that since it was cold that day and the event was outside and all of the wines on the serving bar were being cooled by the cold air the Baco Noir was actually being served chilled which was not a good thing for this wine.
Fast forward to January 2009. Baco Noir 2009 is now available at many local LCBO’s in Windsor and Essex County. Time for me to try it again only this time at just out of the cellar temperature.
What a difference!
The wine has a nice deep red / purple colour. The nose is leathery. On first taste it is somewhat like biting into a big, meaty dark cherry. The wine is full of flavour that last for a long time.
This is not a sipping wine. We had pasta shells with a creamy tomato sauce that paired well with the Baco Noir.
While the wine can be consumed right now I believe this is one of those wines that will taste better next year.
If you can’t make it to Erie Shore Vineyard’s stop by your local LCBO and pick up a few bottles. The price is right! You will be supporting local wineries and picking up a good wine.
