MacPhail Family Wines
The Flyer Pinot Noir
Be warned, this wine does not smell like Pinot Noir. It's big, it's bold, it's frightfully funky. Only medium ruby in color, the nose is full of forest floor, smoke and tar. The palate is all dark fruit, bathed in a savory soak, sprayed with violets and punched with acidity and healthy pack of tannins. Oak comes through, but doesn’t overpower. You won't have to be careful with pairings, as this Pinot will match up with the beefiest beef dishes.

Aug 10th, 2020Big body, red fruit, oak, spice. Not my kind of pinot noir, but good for that style.

Mar 2nd, 2018Wonderful Pinot. Very fruit forward with a light berry fragrance. Very soft tannic structure and medium mouthfeel. Finish isn’t that long, but overall taste is right on point.

Oct 26th, 2017Burgundy like earth and plum on the nose with super concentrated black plum and cherry on the palate. Can't wait to try again in 1-2 years!

Apr 29th, 2016Very dark looking Pinot noir. Hints of deep cherry. Should have aged this another 2-5 years!
