After a rainy spring and moderate summer, the sun shone brightly throughout the fall creating a Pinot with elegant style and balanced structure. This vineyard always creates a powerful wine, but this vintage comes across as more restrained and smooth. Fermented in tank after a 3-day cold soak and aged in French oak barrels (40% new) for 16 months.
 
An elegant bouquet showing classic aromas of black cherry, wild raspberry and savoury beetroot. The palate is rich and silky with moderate tannins finishing with a hint of dark chocolate. We wanted this Pinot Noir to showcase the elegant character of Niagara Pinot without excessive oak influence.
Pair with: Smoked salmon, beet and goat cheese salad, Roast turkey with sage stuffing, grilled pork tenderloin, and braised lamb dishes.
