Amazing, deep, dark cherry and raspberry fruit notes are echoed on the tight palate, with some slatey terroir that feels uncannily like limestone, or at least slate and clay! An impenetrable and clean big cherry nose. It's the same kind of tannic structure we see on the Bator Gamay Noir. It's a wine that kisses you with a delicious warm embrace, and the proof that Niagara-on-the-Lake’s Four Mile Creek VQA, indeed, has a proper, ripe Pinot vocation! Yes, spiciness, but no hint of wood. Richer and rounder than Bench wines, and I love the darker, spicier raspberries that finish deep, rich, and slightly tannic. That makes for a lovely sipping or ageing wine.
