Natalie's Score: 91/100

Smooth, medium-bodied Prince Edward County Pinot Noir from one of the region's best producers. Racy acidity and great vibrancy on the mid-palate. Seductive. Aromas of fleshy cherry and freshly turned earth. Pair with roast chicken.

Pinot Noir food pairings: planked salmon, braised veal chops in red wine, slow-cooked lamb shanks.

Reviews and Ratings

Andrew Bernardo rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

This is so nuanced and pure, yet electrified and high-toned. There's sour cherry, sweet spice and unripe raspberry at play on the palate, along with some fresh herbs on the finish. Gorgeous, smooth, sensual. Rose petals open up after a half-hour in the glass 91 Points.
Kendra & Matthew Elliott rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Medium bodied, pale ruby with intense flavours of red fruit, especially cherry. Smoke coming through on the nose. Balanced tannin and alcohol making this a very enjoyable wine with a terrific finish.
