TWO SISTERS UNOAKED CHARDONNAY 2021 6 VQA Niagara Peninsula

Making Ontario chardonnay without any aging time in barrel suggests a Chablis AOC stylistic and for the most part that is true. The difference for Two Sisters is two-fold; one is the warm Niagara River sub-app and the second but clearly most important is the 1959 planted chardonnay vineyard, generally accepted as Canada’s oldest ... The freshness and spirit here are exceptional and this wine should be famous, not merely almost and the time has come for more consumers to know it by name ... Drink 2024-2028. Tasted May 2024.

LEANING POST PINOT NOIR 2023 6 VQA Niagara Peninsula ... What’s right and charming about 2023 is how it settles into our varietal psyche for a vintage neither as warm or concentred, while returning to varietal basics ... wines ripe and structured enough that in Ilya Senchuk’s hands are able to please early yet surely age gracefully forward several years. There is purity and potential magic from vintages like this with no exception for one labeled as an LP pinot noir. Less than epic, but they can’t all be and my how good ’23 will be for years to come. Drink 2025- 2031. Tasted July 2025. Score: 90 (Michael Godel, winealign.com) Medium-bodied & Fruity 523183 (XD) 750 ml $35.95 2
