Surprisingly light colour but it sings in the glass. This seems to me to be low intervention winemaking - lots of sappy, honeyed red fruit and pure pleasure. Reasonably priced at $55, which seems to be what it costs in Ontario for a decent Pinot these days.

Soft and elegant with dark berry flavors. This is ready to drink now. Pairs nicely with soft, mild cheese like brie!
