This is the last of the purchased grapes before flipping over to the estate vineyard for Pinot Noir. It's sourced from two Twenty Mile Bench vineyards - Glen Elgin and End-of-the-Road. It's destemmed, lightly crushed, wild fermented and spends 18 months in neutral oak French barriques. It shows a profound perfumed/floral note on the nose with red currants, dark cherries, black raspberries, crunchy cranberries, and elegant spices. It's a bold Pinot on the palate with fine-grained tannins and some structure to go with earthy/savoury red berries, a touch of anise, umami/mushroom notes, elegant oak spices and a tangy, lifted finish. Can cellar this to 2030. Score - 92. (Rick VanSickle, winesinniagara.com, May 8, 2024) This is the last of the purchased grapes before flipping over to the estate vineyard for Pinot Noir.
