Paula Bernardino rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

I attended the annual Taste Ontario event at the beautiful Fairmont Château Laurier in Ottawa April 2 featuring wines from the four major Ontario wine regions: Lake Erie North Shore, Niagara Escarpment & Twenty Valley, Niagara-on-the-Lake and Prince Edward County.

I tried Huff Estates’ Pinot Noir Reserve with interesting aromas and flavours of red berries. Nice classy label. 12% alcohol.
Melanie Lloyd rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

A light-bodied Pinot Noir with aromas of raspberry pie filing, field cherries, mushroom, and forest floor. It is easy drinking with tart sour cherry and cranberry flavours. Good on its own or pair with salmon, cornish hen, or roasted Portobello mushroom.

Jennifer Havers rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Lively and smooth, a great combination of fruit, earth, and tartness. Aromas of tart cherry, mocha, and earthy soil and green forest notes. Medium bodied, with bright acidity and lovely balance of fruit, earth, and spice. Enjoy with grilled pork or salmon.
Jane Staples rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

My favourite wine at Taste Ontario 2019! Beautifully aromatic and bursting with ripe yet tart flavours. Lots of berry fruit, cherries and strawberries, forest floor and mocha on a satiny palate with perfect acidity. I carried my sample around with me to savour every drop! Enjoy with roast duck, salmon or stuffed Portobello mushrooms.
Tasted April 2019

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.
