Reviews and Ratings

Darlene Myers - CAPS Student rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

I love a Canadian Pinot Noir, I think this grape loves our cool climate. And the Mission Hill Pinot Noir didn't disappoint. I loved how the ripe berry flavours blended with a nutmeg spicy taste. The bright fruit is made even smoother by some oak ageing. Love it
During the past several years, Mission Hill has quietly but successfully raised the bar on its Pinot Noir, having mastered most other varieties. This is a robust wine with aromas and flavours of cherry and raspberry, with spice on the finish and with the classic silky texture of the variety.

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.
