HENRY OF PELHAM SPECK FAMILY RESERVE PINOT NOIR 2023 6

CASTAÑO HÉCULA ORGANIC MONASTRELL 2022 DO Yecla, Spain, vegan

VQA Short Hills Bench, Niagara Escarpment, Ontario, sustainable ... aged in European oak, 30% new, for 10 months. It has such a beautiful, lifted nose of brambly raspberry perfume, cherry/kirsch, strawberries, violets, cassis and fine oak spice. It has wonderful texture on the palate and persistent flavours from the medley of red berries, anise, red currants and spice box with a long, finessed finish. A gorgeous expression of cool climate Pinot Noir that can improve in the cellar until 2028. Score: 93 (Rick VanSickle, winesinniagara.com, Oct. 29, 2024) Medium-bodied & Fruity 657874 (XD) 750 mL $47.95 2

This playful, lighter-styled Monastrell has a sense of levity. Savory aromas of garrigue and boysenberry are heightened by aromas of rhubarb and black raspberry. A fruit-forward palate largely abandons savoriness suggested on the nose and embraces youthful tannins followed by a smirk of acidity. Best Buy.
