Pipe'Dreams Zweigelt 2014
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaMy pick of the red portfolio from newcomer Pipe Dreams winery, this is striking zweigelt, all peppery, herbal and branchy, though the lens of a warm, southern Okanagan sun. Partial oak and super-ripe grapes have plumped this lean grape nearly beyond recognition, but what you can ascertain still has some charm. Coffee, cinnamon, sap and leather throughout the red fruit, penned by soft, slightly powdery tannins. If they had picked this earlier and dialed back the potent wood and resultant alcohol, this would be a real charmer.Tasted: 31 March 2017Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $32.00 | 750ml | winery direct |
