Medium-high to highly aromatic nose offers pleasing sour cherry, cranberry, strawberry, beet root and earthy aromas with subtle oak spice notes. It's medium-full bodied with very good fruit concentration and nice, ripe raspberry, cranberry, and vanilla flavours. Still a bit young with supple, light tannins. Long, juicy finish. Tasted Sept/2019. Score: 90+ pts

Just a note for future reference: while 2018 was undeniably not a stellar vintage for this reliable Pinot, I'm pleased to report that, as of January 2021, it has settled nicely. The volatility mentioned in the above reviews has dissipated, and the wine has rounded into a food-friendly libation with sour-edged fruit and a touch of oak spice. It will never be a velvety sipper, but it still shows its pedigree as an above-average Niagara Pinot.
