A deft blend (read: "obsessed-over") of Gamay Noir parcels from single-vineyard origins, with the expression of the terroir of ‘All-Niagara’ as its goal... this wine leads us on a dizzy dance, combining the deep ripe fruit and silky tannins of N.O.T.L. (Niagara-on-the-Lake) with the delicate mulberry perfume and limestone angularity of the best ‘Bench’ (Escarpment) vineyard fruit. With the 2021 vintage, we sense a deep, cherried, cranberried, minty-dark, almost peppery, juicy-fruited, stewed rhubarb limestone, yet with darker, mysterious, earthy bloody austerity of the Bench fruit: brooding, likely only be at best from 2024 -2027!!!
