Blind tasting: On first whiff I said "this smells like Ontario." The flavour suggests Pinot noir-esque minerality. But once I realized what is was, I was a bit disappointed that they had to use appassimento style to turn out a medium-bodied faux-Pinot. Still a good Ontario wine. But that's also the caveat.

Canadian wine doing Italian styles is a hit in my book. Best of both worlds. Easy drinking. There's no conspiracy here.
