Blue Mountain Pinot Blanc 2014
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaOne of BC's best whites is pinot blanc. That's right. Pinot blanc. Complexities and restraint at once, via two clones of 29 year old grapes, sustainably harvested and whole cluster pressed. Sixty percent rests in stainless and the remainder goes off to older French oak for 5 months of light lees contact. Crisp citrus, gentle lees, orchard pear and grapefruit pith through the nose and medium bodied palate, where hints of honey, wildflowers, dried thyme and shining minerality swirl to a lingering finish. Bright acidity throughout, with white pepper and pithy spice to close off. Drinking beautifully now, but this elegant and finessed wine will continue to hold and grow over the next 5 years.Tasted: 11 August 2015Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $18.00 | 750ml | winery direct, private wine stores |
