With 70% Niagara Pinot in this 70/30 blend, you’d expect a little more ballsier Pinot character, especially because of the warm 2012 vintage these grapes derive from; but instead its delicate from the get-go. Spending 17 months in barrel, of which 6 of those are after the blend, you’ll find vibrant cherry, cran-raspberry, good acidity rounded out by spice and a good mouthfeel. Price: $69.00 – Rating: ****
