This continues to be one of the best value Pinots at the LCBO … years ago I held a Pinto Noir challenge and many were surprised at both the taste and value the wine brought to the glass – and it has continues vintage after vintage. The nose is cran-cherry oriented, while on the palate dark cherries and tea leaves – but the fruit rises above it all and kicks in some spice with Christmas cake and a sweet spice finish.
