Blue Mountain Pinot Blanc 2015

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe Blue Mountain PB is always consistently good but seldom as expressive as the 2015 is with its ripe apple and pear, melon, pink florals and white peach that flood its soft palate. Fine apricot fuzz lines and spice mark the finish. Lovely complexity and thought here and overall impressive but we miss the acidity of the crisp 2014 vintage. Thirty-year-old estate vines are whole cluster pressed and wild-fermented in a mix of stainless steel and wood vessels before partial lees-ageing for approximately nine months.Tasted: 26 August 2016Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Treve RingPrices:
