It’s not on the label (yet), but the fruit for this wine comes from the Lowrey Vineyard in St. David’s, one of the oldest Pinot plantings in Ontario (circa 1981-1984). At some point winemaker/owner, Ilya Senchuk, will make three Pinots from three different sites across Niagara, but for now this lone Pinot will do nicely thank you very much. Nose of rhubarb, cranberry, sour cherry, strawberry, violets and white pepper lure you into the glass; palate has got great acid backbone with spice, sour cran-cherry and peppery notes; but there’s also a lushness of fruit that adds balance. Another great wine from this first year winery, but long time winemaker. Price: $38.00 – Rating: ****+
