Beamsville Bench, Niagara Peninsula, Ontario, CanadaComing from a specific parcel in Saunders vineyard, located on the Beamsville Bench, this rather quiet pinot has a more rooty and earthy nose mingled with dried herbs and flowers. It unfurls its layers on the palate, revealing dark cherries and roasted red beets with savoury spices that are framed by a nice backbone of tight acidity and firm tannins. The subtle, salted dark chocolate on the finish adds complexity. A multi-layered, sophisticated pinot that you need to listen to carefully, and which deserves attention.Tasted: 09 March 2023Tasted by: Prices:

Beamsville Bench, Niagara Peninsula, Ontario, CanadaFrom Saunders Vineyard, a certified organic vineyard on the Beamsville Bench along King St., this comes from a single block at the 'bas' of the vineyard. There's an exuberance to the fruit of these young vines, with a combination of black raspberry and chocolate-coated cherry that's rounded by aging 20 months in third-fill and neutral Burgundy barriques. The fruit is layered with sappy herbal notes, graphite, and violets, showing real depth and complexity even at this early stage. It's a complete, finely structured pinot that's just beginning to open up, though certainly will be even better 3-5 years from now. A pure expression of the Beamsville Bench and the warmth of the 2020 vintage. Only 46 cases produced.Tasted: 29 November 2022Tasted by: Prices:
