Very good for Ontario! Soft but enough to grip to show you the use of oak. Of course it can’t ripe that big... super enjoyable if you know what you’re getting into.

This is an incredible wine. I can't stop thinking about how much it reminds of Potel's 2009 Nuits St-George premier cru. Planted in 2003. Developed cherry fruit, and complex mineral notes that mesh with floral notes, transforming together with time.

Easy drinking and exactly what I want a point not to be. Delicate, playful, a bit juicy. Just…. Beautiful.

The suave character of the nose made me think of nebbiolo, then sangiovese grosso but one thing's for sure, this wine was italian or french. I was wrong! Low alcohol pinot noir, supported by intense aromas and a touch of residual sugar. That kind of precision and finesse from a cold climate zone in Canada will certainly remain to impress me for some time. #blindtasted #canada #pinotnoir
