Open and fragrant, textbook pinot: raspberry-strawberry, leafy. Fine dusty tannins. Juicy. Really pretty wine,...

Probably the best vintage yet for this delicate Niagara pinot, that has a Burgundian feel. It is a pale cherry red...

Great stuff. Much like a real Bourgogne. I stocked up.

This one really captures the essence of "feminine" pinot noir - an excellent value, especially at the recent discounted price of $17.95. Ed Madronich is clearly making great strides in his aim of making world-class pinot at affordable prices.

Really impressive pinot here from Flat Rock, best I have tasted from them. Cranberry, beetroot and smokey notes with very well judged oak. Acidity and tannin in good measure. one of the best value pinots (under $20) that I have had. Tasted Jan 2016.

I get the strawberry-cherry, dusty firm tannins, great valued pinot!

This is really excellent for the price and the best Flat Rock I've had in a while. Full nose of eucalyptus (unusual for PN!) and floral notes. Med bodied, perfectly ripe fruit with nice mineral touch. Quite long. Succulent and very satisfying. 2013 is clearly a good vintage. Will hold a few years yet, so worth tucking a couple away. Surprised restaurants haven't bought it all up.

Not being a huge pinot drinker, I really don't have a lot of context on this. That being said, the wine is smooth and composed, full of bright red fruit flavours. Something we will probably try again.
