Cherries, cranberries, and a tea-like earthiness. Surprisingly delicious stuff.

Tasted blind - could swear this was a Pinot Noir. Strawberry, vanilla and cherry on the nose thread seamlessly into the palate. Nice spice and a hint of nutmeg show up on the tongue too. Good medium weight tannins with incredible balance on the fruit and acid. Drink now or hang onto for a good 7-10 years. Great QPR!

Cranberries, cherries and mossy earth. Good structure and acidity.

I'm not a connoisseur of wine. All I know is of the white wines I've had in my life, this one was most enjoyable. It was wonderfully dry and sweet. Would definitely buy again.

More fruit than the 2011. Very Burgundian, Maraschino cherry, meaty/ earthy-funkiness on the nose. Outside of Burgundy, I have yet to find such a silky, terroir driven Pinot for such a low price ($18CAD)

surprisingly good. Never had a Canadian wine and a pinot meunier at that. Fruit is very ripe for a 2012 and it has a long finish. Would have it again.

Pale red, light body, clear and no sediment. Nose is earthy, almost sweaty, tastes of cherry and white pepper.
