Note: I publish batches of reviews that I call Good Values Wine Picks. These are from the regular section of the liquor store rather than the Vintages section, and tend to be lower priced and the most widely available of all wines. The last four reviews I did were: May 22, March 7, January 4 and December 16.

Tasting note:

A big smoky red that needs another two to three years of aging to show its full glory. Terrific dark berry flavours and mouth-awakening acidity.

Opinions about wine differ greatly as the experience is subjective. You may find it helpful to compare this critical evaluation of the wine with mine as well as your own:

The "Moira" Vineyard, located on the Beamsville Bench, contains calciferous clay soils ideally suited to Burgundian varieties. Moira has 0.6 ha planted with pinot noir clone 115 in 1996. Sustainably farmed since planting, the Moira was certified organic in 2004. The 2007 vintage has been declared as one of the best for red varieties such as pinot noir. Yields were significantly reduced be winter frost, combined with a hot and dry growing season resulted in highly concentrated and intensely flavoured wines.
