Pelee Island Winery Pinot Noir Wine Review

Natalie's Score: 90/100

A graceful, fruit-driven red that opens with aromas of ripe cherry, cranberry, and raspberry, lifted by subtle notes of earth, spice, and a hint of vanilla. It’s light to medium-bodied, dry, and silky on the palate, with soft tannins, bright acidity, and 12.5% alcohol lending balance and elegance. Serve it just below room temperature to showcase its delicate fruit and refined texture. Fascinating fact: Pelee Island Winery farms Canada’s southernmost vineyards on an island in Lake Erie, where the long, sun-drenched growing season allows cool-climate grapes like Pinot Noir to ripen with finesse while retaining freshness. Best enjoyed within 3–5 years for its vibrant fruit and supple structure. You can order this wine directly from the winery at www.peleeisland.com.

Pinot Noir food pairings: herb-crusted salmon, where the wine’s red berry notes highlight the richness of the fish. Or enjoy it alongside mushroom risotto, where its earthy undertones echo the depth of the dish.
