Dianne Sheridan - Sommelier rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Classic Pinot Noir. Fermented in stainless steel and aged in European oak. Will age for 3-6 years. On the palate, sour cherry, spice, vanilla. Well balanced. Light to medium in body. Pair with salmon, tuna, roasted chicken, duck.
Jennifer Havers rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

A nice example of Pinot Noir, especially at this price point. Beautiful garnet colour. Tart cherry, spicy pepper, a bit of earthiness on the nose, fragrant but light. Cherry and pepper on the palate too, soft tannins and nice acidity. Definitely a nice wine for pork or turkey.
Jane Staples rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Classic varietal style Pinot Noir, fermented in stainless steel and aged in European oak. Shows typical tart fruit, earth, sweet spice and milk chocolate. Drink now or age 3-6 years.
Tasted Jan. 2017
Pamela Chiles rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Great value on this Pinot - fresh and light-bodied with a cranberry and rhubarb nose and roasted beet and sour cherry palate. Juicy acidity makes it easy to pair with a range of food.
Rachelle O'Connor rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

This "classic tier" Pinot Noir has all of the classic properties of this varietal. Cherry, cranberry, spice and hints of oak - it is a well-balanced, good value wine that can be paired with many foods.
rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

This wine has classic aromas and flavours characteristic of the varietal. Aromas of cherry, bramble and spice repeat in the flavour profile. The wine has good acidity and low tannins. The Speck family's "classic tier" is good value for an Ontario Pinot Noir. A versatile food wine, pair with roast chicken, pork or salmon.
Neil Phillips rated this wine as 87/100 with the following review:

Aromas of cherry, cranberry, bramble.

On the palate, medium weight tart cherry, medium finish. Reasonable balance, though not overly complex with red fruit / alcohol predominating along with some oak. Easy drinking and versatile with many foods.

A tasty, good value Pinot Noir from a reliably consistent Ontario producer.

Tasted September 2016.
