Orofino Pinot Noir 2003

Cawston, Similkameen Valley, British Columbia, CanadaAttractive floral, cherry, spicy vanilla nose with a smoky, compost undercurrent with a touch of rhubarb. Dry, rich, alcoholic with a chewy tannic structure. Big spicy, smoky vanilla, peppery, black cherry, cedar-y, stewed prune flavours. The nose shows promise but the textures are too dry and tannic. There's promise here especially if they decide to back off the 100 percent new oak.Tasted: 11 May 2005Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
