If I owned a restaurant, this is one of the wines I would have on my wine list. It's affordable and will pair well with most meals. Keep in mind that Pelee has three Pinot Noir labels. There is this one, the Reserve, a VQA Ontario red label bottle and a NON VQA Cellered in Canada blend. Buy the reserve! Nose is not overwelming, but most Ontario Pinot Noir's arn't anyway. Some hints of earth, soil, and oak. Great balance, making this a nice smooth wine. Mild tannins on the finish. Noted flavours of strawberries, earth and oak in the taste. This one is currently available at Pelee Island's retail store in Kingsville. Now also available at the LCBO, would make an excellent LCBO Vintages selection.
