This Pinot Noir comes from the Wismer family’s Glen Elgin Vineyard in the Twenty Mile Bench region of Niagara. Planted in 1996 to clone 115, this vineyard sits very close to historic Balls Falls, just over 7 kilometres from Lake Ontario. This site was planted in the thin, rocky/silty soil of the escarpment, producing lighter-bodied, elegant Pinot Noirs. We have chosen to bottle this wine separately to showcase the unique characteristics of this vineyard.
"92 points. This Pinot from the Glen Elgin Vineyard was planted in 1996 to Clone 115 and is aged for 18 months in French oak, 0% new oak. Again, on the lighter side of red in the glass, but an invigorating nose of dark cherries, wild raspberries, cassis, forest berries, perfumed spices and floral notes. It has a smooth, textured entry on the palate with more earthy/savoury notes to go with red berries, aniseed, integrated spices and a long, lifted finish. Can cellar through 2030." - Rick VanSickle, Wines in Niagara
