I'll say it from the outset, and I might say it again at the end of this review: this is quite possibly the best County Pinot Noir that Norman Hardie has produced to date. There is so much going on in this bottle that it's hard to get in all into one single review - but I'm gonna try: the nose has floral (violet) notes, raspberry, cherry, rhubarb and cranberry ... on the palate you'll find elements of the above plus a strawberry-rhubarb pie note, but without the sugar and the crust. The fruit really sings on this one, juicy with a perfect balancing act of acidity, spice and tannins to keep it all in check. Again, this might just be the best County Pinot that Norman Hardie has ever made. Price: $35.00 - Rating: **** 1/2
