Magnotta Trionfo, Equus Series (Baco - Foch - Pinot Noir; Ontario VQA)

13.2% alc./vol. Intense, saturated dar-garnet colour; not inky, but deep and dense. Lovely bright, lifted black-cherry fruit on the nose; mostly fruit-driven.

Dry, well balanced, and with excellent structure on the mid-palate. A very good blend!

Good mid-palate heft, with Pinot Noir's tannins firming up the whole shebang, and the two hybrids' colour saturation providing lovely dark pigmentation.

$9.95 at the Magnotta retail outlet.
