Natalie's Score: 92/100

This lovely Niagara Pinot Noir spent 23 months in French oak barrels. The result is a rich and full-bodied Pinot that's not oaky. Aromas of dark cherry and spice. Pair with veal.

Pinot Noir food pairings: roast leg of lamb, sautéed pork chops with wild mushrooms, butternut squash and onion risotto.

Reviews and Ratings

Jane Staples - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

A flavourful Pinot Noir, showing consistent high quality year after year. Lots of yummy tart cherry, mocha and herbal notes with spice and dark chocolate. Great acidity makes it very food-friendly.
