St David's Bench, Niagara Peninsula, Ontario, CanadaThomas Bachelder is one of Canada's leading chardonnay and pinot noir specialists, honed through time in Bourgogne and Oregon, as well as years in the vineyards of his Niagara home base. This single vineyard St. David's Bench pinot noir is some of the oldest pinot noir vines in Niagara. The Lowrey Vineyard was once part of the Alliance project between Jaffelin (Burgundy) and Inniskillin. These vines were planted between 1988 and 1993, on a gentle slope at the base of the Niagara Escarpment. Sultry wild raspberry, cherry roll across the silken palate, with tight, bright acidity and fine, long tannins framing this to a lengthy saline finish.Tasted: 23 July 2022Tasted by: Prices:

St David's Bench, Niagara Peninsula, Ontario, CanadaFrom Lowrey Vineyard, but a different parcel than the Old Eastern Block. The vines here date to 1988 and 1993, on a gentle slope at the base of the Niagara Escarpment. It shows fresh, expressive cherry bolstered by dried florals and spice. The verve and stoniness of the Old Eastern Block still come through here but with a more muscular structure thanks to firm-grained tannins. This will reward revisiting in two to three years.Tasted: 29 November 2021Tasted by: Prices:
