Lori Kilmartin WSET3 rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

I thought this was a terrific Pinot Noir from Prince Edward County. Was pleasantly surprised by the intensity and complexity on the nose. Savoury notes of leather, oak, cranberry, smoke and red fruit. The body was lighter, which is typical of our Ontario Pinot's but the flavour didn't disappoint. Lovely fresh cranberry, cherry and spice. Medium body with nicely integrated tannins. Enjoyed sipping on its own but would also be a great match with roast pork!

Craig Kuziemsky rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Aromas of cherry, raspberry and earth with the flavors refining into a nice combination of mushroom and spice.

Jane Staples rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

An inviting nose of strawberry and cranberry, followed by a layered palate of cranberry, vanilla, baking spices, earth and oak. Smooth, well-integrated mouthfeel with a long red fruit finish.

Courtney Flood rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

True Pinot Noir character. Fresh cherry and raspberry with earthy aromas of mushroom and pine needles. Light and fresh with a savoury finish. Would go lovely with a wild mushroom risotto.

Sean O'Regan rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Medium ruby with complex notes of cherry, raspberry, herb, floral, spice, earth and toasty oak. The palate shows cherry, herb, mineral, gently spice, medium acidy, light to medium body and soft tannins on the medium finish. Very pretty Pinot Noir from the southeast part of Prince Edward County.

Long Dog Vineyard Top Dog Riserva Pinot Noir 2009, Prince Edward County, Ontario VQA: Vibrant cranberry and sour cherry aromas and flavours that are the beautiful hallmark of Prince Edward County Pinot Noir.
