Description
At a time when Ontario Pinot Noir is rising from strength to strength and garnering high praise from local and international critics alike, the wines of Norman Hardie continue to be among the most prized and most remarkable; his County Pinot Noir is the standard-bearer for PEC. This wine is from the dry 2016 vintage, and you can expect it to be an elegant, earthy wine with leading red fruit aromas and flavours and a pure minerality. Always expressive, always elegant and always exceptional.

Tasting Notes
In Prince Edward County and for Pinot Noir there is no substitute and no comparison. Quixotically sweet Pinot Noir fruit, from the lowest of the low yields, scrupulously heeded and handled with care and yet also, somehow without a care to the world ... This is an early to love Norm Pinot Noir, brought to life and with red citrus that only a Hardie low alcohol Pinot can bring. Humility only exceeded by impossibility. Ready to enjoy younger than most. Drink 2016-2022. Tasted April 2016. Score - 93. (Michael Godel, winealign.com, May 1, 2016)
