NIAGARA PINOT NOIR CUVÉE FROM THE HEART 2024

Niagara Peninsula, Ontario.

Blended during a fun-filled afternoon at Leaning Post, with 3 winemakers talking about wine and life. Doing the very tough work of going through dozens of potential blends, we ended up back at the first iteration, the very first blend of the day! Equal parts from Leaning Post - Clone 777 in Senchuk Vineyard, Bachelder - Cuesta Vineyard, and Cloudsley Cellars - Glen Elgin Vineyard, it shows the magic of West Niagara. Cherries and earth, raspberries and moss, blackberries and rocks, the fruit-smashing-into-earth nature of the wine is off the charts. But what really excited all three of us was the core structure and length, the way it is focused and dense, yet ethereal with blow-your mind length. Sometimes first really is best, and when it happens you accept it and say thank you!Grapes For Humanity — Vintage #26: Thanks to the generosity of the wine community, we have raised millions to help make the world a better place and your support makes all the difference. 100% of funds raised will go to climate action!
