CedarCreek Platinum Home Block Pinot Noir 2010
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaWinemaker Darryl Brooker's first red wines to be released include the "Home Block" 2010 Platinum Pinot Noir (blocks 2 and 4) replete with its floral/fragrant cool pinot nose flecked with spice, black cherry and worsteshire sauce. The attack is similarly cool and restrained with light tannins and firm black and sour cherry fruit mixed with dried herbs. A new, cooler direction for his variety that better expresses its northern terroir. Try this with grilled salmon or roast turkey. Tasted several times since the fall it is improving each time.Tasted: 07 March 2013Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $40.00 | 750ml | winery direct, VQA wine shops |
