2019 Flat Rock Cellars Gravity Pinot Noir, Twenty Mile Bench, Niagara, Ontario
Winealign.com: 90/100
This pours pale ruby garnet portending the lighter ambiance overall including modest 12.5% alcohol. This adds to the elegant, fine boned feel with easy tannin and excellent fruit depth. The nose is expresses classic sour red cherry jam, finely tuned barrel toast, an earthy/mossy note and a touch of acetone. It all fits well together on the palate ad keeps focused, with some sour-edged volatile underlay. The length is excellent. (David Lawrason)

2018 Inniskillin Reserve Pinot Noir, Niagara Peninsula, Ontario
Winealign.com: 90/100
Rich, though not overripe, this is chock-full of black raspberry and framed by soft tannins and sweet oak. A gravelly mineral note on the finish adds intrigue. Smart value for money for new world Pinot fans, and ready to drink.
