Decanter Magazine Review
Rated 95
The Isabelle Pinot Noir is slightly subdued upon opening, but another incredible wine given a short decant: fresh fig, cherry cola, and vanilla on the nose. More herbs on the palate marry with red fruit notes: red cherry, raspberry and thyme. Isabelle is a beauty, powerful and deep in flavour intensity with equally firm tannins that need air to soften. With time, this wine shines, revealing silky smooth textural grace and tannin integration.

How to Serve Liquor – Quick Tips
- Temperature Matters: Serve whiskey and bourbon at room temperature, vodka chilled, and tequila slightly cool to preserve aroma and balance.
- Choose the Right Glass: Use a rocks glass for whiskey, a flute or coupe for sparkling spirits, and a tulip or snifter for aged liquors.
- Don’t Rush the Pour: Allow spirits to breathe for a few moments before tasting — it softens alcohol notes and opens complex flavors.
- Savor with Intention: Sip slowly, appreciate aroma before taste, and pair thoughtfully with food or fine company.
