Jennifer Havers rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

Tasted in 2020. Beautiful balance! Aromas of red cherry, cranberry, with hints of fresh earth, smoke and leather. Medium bodied on the palate, with bright, vibrant acidity, slight mineral notes, and tart and ripe berry notes, balanced with light tannins and a hint of spice. Enjoy with turkey or herb roasted chicken.
Jon Steeves rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

Juicy, tart, mouthwatering acidity. Slightly bitter cherry, cola, cassis, savoury herb. Light body, medium tannins, balanced. Pair with lamb shank or roast turkey. Tasted 2011 vintage in Nov 2017. 91 points. #bespoketastings




Natalie's Review

Exultet Estates Cru X Pinot Noir 2011, Prince Edward County, Ontario V.Q.A., Canada: A lovely light ruby hue in the glass. Aromas of ripe red berries (raspberry, cherry, cranberry) with a dash of earth and smoke. Lots of minerality. Very balanced, supple, smooth and long on the finish. Racy acidity for planked salmon or roast chicken. You will have to buy it directly from the winery. Drink: 2015-2022. 6500 13% D 750 mL  $45.00 Score: 92/100.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

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.
