Producer: King Estate Winery
Name: Next
Varietal: Pinot Noir
Vintage: 2007
Price: $26.00Haven't had a good pinot noir lately and least of all did I expect it to come from Oregon. The bouquet smelled of dark cherries, raspberries with a hint of mild spice. On the palate the body felt light but well structured with a dry finish. It carried flavours of spice, dark cherries, and a hint of chocolate and oak. At first I thought the spice was quite forward but it did seem to mellow out as you kept drinking. Definitely worth a try and will be plenty enjoyed at a party, before, during or after the meal.

I found it at this little wine shoppe in South Calgary called "The 'L' Store" (the store isn't in Google Maps yet but the address is correct). It was a great little store with reasonable prices and a well organized and clearly labelled shelves. They also carry a small selection of imported and local beer that which they continually rotate. The owner there helped me out and was quite friendly. If you're ever in the area you should check it out.
Okay peace ooouuut!
