If I Could Buy Only One – March 15th Vintages Release

We asked our writers, “If you could buy only one wine from the March 15th release, which one would it be and why?”

Bachelder Wismer Parke Pinot Noir 2022, Ontario, Canada
$54.95, Lifford Wine & Spirits (Select Wine Merchants)
Megha Jandhyala – My “only one” this week is once again a gorgeous Ontario wine that highlights, for those who are still agnostic, that our terroirs and winemakers can be world class. Thomas Bachelder’s 2022 Wismer Parke Pinot Noir is a bewitching coalescence of delicate floral notes, supple red fruit, and savoury herbal character. Fine filaments of spice glitter amidst this profusion of flavour. The texture too is beautiful – silky and impeccably balanced, with an exceptionally long, delicately saline finish. At $55, this pinot noir may seem like a splurge but cellar a bottle for a year or two and savour it one afternoon or evening – I think you will find that it is in fact more than fairly priced.
