Wine Enthusiast
"90 pts ... Peregrine�s wines have settled into a consistent groove, marrying subtle herb and mossy notes with an enveloping core of black cherry fruit. The 2007 is medium in body, with a slightly creamy texture and a supple, bacon-tinged finish that avoids being overly soft. Drink it over the next five years.� --11/09
Winemaker's Notes
"The 2007 Peregrine Pinot Noir has great depth of colour. The nose has an intense perfume of mocha, candy, dark fruits along with charr yoak. The palate is rich and dense wit hplums, spice and silk ytannin. The finish is enticing and long."
Technical Notes
"The fruit was hand harvested and destemmed to open top fermenters. The fruit was given a 2-6 day cold maceration prior to warm fermentation. The fermented fruit then had an extended post fermentation maceration to help with tannin extraction and integration. The average time on skins was approximately three weeks. The resulting wine was pressed to French oak barrels (35% new) where it spent 10 months. 13% alc."
