Reviews and Ratings

Andrea Shapiro rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

An impressive Pinot Noir @Winemakersboots from the Niagara region (twenty mile bench). Pale ruby colour with light bright red fruit, red cherry, pomegranate, new leather, cassis and a faint touch of old tree bark. High, but well balanced acidity. Light bodied and grippy well rounded tannins. Lovely forest earthy mushroom notes in here too. Simple, dry yet very layered, developing further as it stays in the glass. Enjoy with charcuterie, veal and flatbreads. 90 points - tasted April 2017
Pamela Chiles rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Fantastic, easy-drinking, silky and fresh Pinot at a great price. Ripe red berries, light savoury edge and a delicate spice. Keep a few on hand for sipping with pate and cheese.

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.
