Pinot noirs from the Niagara area are consistently good (if you spend enough).

Not much missing here. Perhaps some structure. Otherwise delicious with real complexity, earthy mineral notes and dark cherry Pinot fruit.

Maybe it was a bad bottle, but when I had this it didn’t have any of the characteristics I would associate with a Pinot noir. Colour and clarity was gorgeous, but from a palette, juiciness, acid and tannins I was shocked. Tasted and felt like a super dry cab sauv, and not the light juicy delicate PN.

On the nose, some warm cinnamon and cloves with cherry hiding behind it. Taste of tart cherry with a tiny poke of Swedish berry on the finish. Straightforward but good value for the money.
