Description
Weather in Ontario's 2015 vintage was a bit chaotic, particularly early in the growing season, but old vines - such as the Pinot Noir vines used to make this wine, which were planted in the 1980s in dolomitic limestone interspersed with clay - are so deeply rooted as to not even notice such trifles. Expect rich, brambly berry fruit, earth, mineral and wisps of oak, and pair the wine with beef bourguignon or seared duck breast with braised mushrooms.

Tasting Notes
This wine is sourced from old vines planted in 1984 and 1988. It's always a pretty, expressive Pinot that offers gorgeous aromas and flavours of violets, black cherry, cassis, vanilla, spice and a distinct minerality. Silky, finessed and elegant. Pair with a roast beef dinner or seared duck breast with braised mushrooms. This will age and evolve for 10+ years at least.
