This is an excellent value Pinot. Retails in Ontario for $25 but easily the equal of more expensive bottlings and perhaps undervalued by $5 or 8. A bit too much blackcurrant to be perfectly balanced but it checks an awful lot of boxes and is very moreish.

We are going to have a "Do Over" on this. It ok but did not live up to the aromas we picked up. Not offensive just lacked the front and back that we were expecting from a CO-PN. UNTIL the last glass for both of us! In the last 3 mouthfuls - we had lighting bolt of Blueberry and racked leaves in our mouth and transition to savoury finish. We will try next time with risotto or mushrooms and decant 1 hour longer.
