Reviews and Ratings

Jon Steeves - Sommelier rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

Wow. Big tannins in this Pinot! Beautiful garnet Colour. Great acidity, barrel aged complexity, cherry, red currant, leather and fantastic wet stone minerality. Big dusty tannins. Well balanced. Pair with roast turkey dinner or meat lovers gourmet pizza night. Tasted 2014 vintage in Dec 2017. 91 points. #BespokeTastings
Monique Sosa - Accredited Sommelier rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

An incredibly juicy developing Pinot Noir from the Niagara escarpment. Fine cranberry and hibiscus tea aromas followed by long juicy tart cranberry and a young tannic mouthfeel. Enjoy this medium+ bodied Niagara Pinot Noir with smoked ham and cheesy scalloped potatoes. Tasted by @sommsosa | bespoketastings.ca

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.
