Another lovely Pinot Noir from Tawse's Quarry Road Vineyard. Aromas of bing cherry, smoke, raspberry, fresh earth, and smoke. The 2016 Quarry Road has lots of cellar life ahead of it. Pair with quail and other game birds.

Pinot Noir food pairings: braised lamb with mushroom, duck comfit, grilled veal chops.

Outstanding Organic Wine

Great balance on this Niagara gem. Medium bodied with mouthwatering acidity, tart, well structured. Paired well with roast chicken dinner and roasted veggies. Tasted 2016 vintage in March 2019. 91 points
