Cloudsley End Of The Road Vineyard Pinot Noir 2020

The End of the Road Vineyard Pinot tastes ‘a little more New World to me,’ Lowy says. ‘It shows the vintage in a big way.’ It starts with a floral note of violets and then penetrating red berries, Pinot perfume, brambly accents and lovely integrated spices. There’s more substance on the palate with earthy/savoury red berries, good structure and ripe tannins, a touch of cassis, elegant spice notes and a long, bright finish. Can cellar this 8+ years. A cool addition to the lineup. Score – 93. (Rick VanSickle, winesinniagara.com, June 20, 2023)
