Vibrant in colour and flavour. Very moreish. Sippable yet with enough grip to accompany food. Excellent balance.
HofP has had a good handle on making quality pinot noir for many years now... the wines are very reliable, and sometimes inching into the top tier of Niagara pinot. This is a good example, entering its prime now and drinking beautifully: smooth, supple, with fine balance, seamlessly integrating attractive fruit (dried cherries?) and oak spice. Tasted December 2022.
