Description
Norman Hardie is one of the masters of Ontario Pinot Noir, and precious few producers are in the same stratum. His Niagara Pinot is made in a big and rich style with vivid fruit and tremendous structure provided by grippy tannins. This is a Pinot suited to roast beef, or meatier fish such as salmon or marlin steaks.

Tasting Notes
The delicacy of this Prince Edward County pinot is immediately evident on the nose - raspberry, damp earth, perfume, ripe cherries and delicate toffee aromas are completely harmonious. This light-bodied pinot manages to be both vibrant and silky on the palate, combining this extremely complex mouthfeel with ripe cherry, mocha, raspberry, caramel, black tea, strawberry, light herbal notes and just a hint of spice. Score - 92. (Ben MacPhee-Sigurdson, wineaccess.ca, Aug. 2, 2012)
