Westcott Estate Pinot Noir VQA 2023

This is a charming, certified sustainable Pinot Noir that emotes the beauty of the Niagara Peninsula terroir in the glass. Highly fragrant aromas of roses and violets with red cherry build sensory excitement before transitioning to a juicy palate of bright red fruit and delicate earthy notes circling a prominent mineral core. A 22-month stint in neutral French oak adds a harmonious marriage of soft baking spice flavours and fine structural support, gracefully rounding out its poised profile as it tapers into an enduring finish.
