Queylus Tradition Pinot Noir 2016, VQA Niagara Peninsula
Ontario, Canada$31.95
Medium ruby. Nose runs to the spicy and earthy side of PN, with the fruit suggested mostly by the fairly rich mouth feel; seems quite extracted although not to the point of exaggeration. Nicely balanced, with hints of red candy intermixed with anise and other spice accents. Still quite firm, but evolving nicely. Will probably hit its stride in another year or so.

Louis Jadot Chorey Les Beaune 2013, Ac
Burgundy, France$34.95
Pale ruby colour, turning orange at the edges; showing its age a bit. Light but classic nose of fresh berries with hints of forest floor. Light to med bodied with good flavour persistence. Nice ripe tannins and lip smacking acidity. An enjoyable village Burgundy not straining to be anything more.

Closson Chase Closson Chase Vineyard Pinot Noir 2017, VQA Prince Edward County
Ontario, Canada$34.95
Nice medium ruby colour. Spicy, full nose of fresh berries. Med bodied with quite bold flavours of strawberries followed by minerality and a light earthiness. Nicely balanced with fine tannins and good acidity in the County way. Maybe a touch short on the finish, but I suspect this will show more in a year or two.
