Stoneboat Vineyards Pinot Noir 2012
Oliver, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaMeaty, leafy, worsteshire, rhubarb, strawberry, balsamic aromas with some toasty oak. Fresh, suave, dry, easy palate with smoky oak, meaty, worsteshire, tobacco leaf, celery salt, resin flavours. Good finesse but the finish is oaky and somewhat sour with some light, astringent tannins. Still needs a few years perhaps to round out.Tasted: 23 September 2014Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $25.00 | 750ml | winery direct |
