This is a gorgeous wine made in what I'm tempted to call the Central Otago style - brimming with fruit but refreshing and medium bodied. Noticeably light in colour, a translucent ruby that shows its youth and vivacity, nose is proper Pinot. Not cheap at the lcbo but worth the splurge. Evidently 2014 was a very good vintage in California.
