Blue Mountain Pinot Blanc 2013

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaNo pinot blah here - this is intellectual (and delish) blanc actualized in the Okanagan. Here two French clones of 28 year old vines are whole cluster pressed, fermented and aged in stainless steel (60 percent) with the balance fermented and aged in four year old French oak barrels for six months. Complexities and restraint at once, with subtle crisp pear, fragrant anise aromas, and a lightly toast/lees palate with wild herbs, anise, key lime pith, white peach and white pepper on the finish. Bright, shining and dry, pour this medium bodied white with citrus herbed white fish or scallops.Tasted: 23 March 2015Tasted by: Prices:
