Fort Berens Pinot Noir 2012

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe pinot noir benefits from the winery's light hands throughout production. Look for juicy red fruit style with a touch of tannin as Fort Berens seeks out the Lillooet style. The 2012 is already in bottle but not yet released and is resting at the winery where it will no doubt fatten up a bit over the summer. The attack is juicy if lean with cherry, coffee, vanilla, celery flavours that finish dry and clean. Perfect for grilled salmon steak.Tasted: 25 July 2014Tasted by: Prices:
