Reviews and Ratings

Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Consistently lovely every year. Aromas of cherry, cranberry and strawberry, leather, with a slightly earthy hint. Medium bodied, medium + acidity, with some tart and ripe berry on the palate, and some smoke on the finish. Enjoy with a grilled pork tenderloin.
Carolyn Hetke rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

This Ontario Pinot has a subtle nose of dried cherry and raspberry that carries to the palate. Soft with a medium finish. Pair with duck breast or veal. Tasted Dec 2019. www.thewineloverskitchen.com
An elegant intro Pinot Noir from a consistently great winery, Flat Rock Cellars. Lovely ripe raspberry, smoky and spicy flavours on the palate. - Community Wine Reviews

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
