This Pinot Noir comes from Tom and Loring Wiley’s End of the Road Vineyard in the Twenty Mile Bench region of Niagara. This excellent site was planted in 2007, and is the furthest site located east of the winery in Jordan. A combination of clay loam till and reddish silty clay loam over queenston shale bedrock make up the soil structure. This vineyard produces medium-bodied Pinot Noirs, with excellent red fruit characteristics. We have chosen to bottle this wine separately to showcase the unique characteristics of this vineyard.
"92 points. This Pinot Noir is sourced from Tom and Loring Wiley’s End of the Road Vineyard, planted in 2007, on the Twenty Mile Bench. It’s aged in French oak barriques, 23% new oak, for 18 months. This usually shows more of a New World personality but in 2021 it’s less robust and more elegant than the 2020 version. The nose shows pure dark cherries, fresh wild raspberries, floral notes and just hinting at oak spices. It’s juicy and smooth on the palate with all those ripe red berries showing up to go with integrated earthy/savoury notes, some meaty notes and a lifted, fresh finish. Can cellar through 2030." - Rick VanSickle, Wines in Niagara
