I was very impressed with this wine when we tasted it with Ed Madronich at the winery in 2015. Here we are now in January 2018, and it's even better - the fruit remains vibrant, the oak well integrated, and the nose beautifully smoky and distinctively pinot. This is well beyond the drinking window envisioned by the pros, and a great testimony to the ageability of Ontario pinot noir. The trick now is to figure out which recent vintages have this kind of potential.

A classic pinot noir nose... no way anybody can deny that. Cherry/cola earth/ mushroom/ raspberry. The wine is well made however the fruit could be richer as the body is really light and thin. Overall a great Ontario pinot at a low price. A 3 Star pinot!

Average tasting Pinot Noir.

An enjoyable wine that begins with a nose of berries and secondary, earthy characteristics typical of pinot. In the mouth, the wine is soft and medium bodied, but lacking complexity. A bit linear, but could do worse for the price. Tasted July 2011.
