Blue Mountain Pinot Blanc 2016
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaHow is this possible Blue Mountain? Thirty-year-old estate vines (two German clones) farmed sustainably, cropped low, fermented wild in stainless and older French oak, aged on lees until the following spring, and then bottled. and it's intense yet restrained, with perfumed pear, lemon blossom, white peach and a snap of Asian pear acidity keeping everything taut and riveting. A vibrato of stony minerality rings throughout to a spicy, bright finish. And, this wine is a mind-boggling $18, when it could easily be and best wines double its price. The top pinot blanc I've tasted from Blue Mountain, and easily the best in Canada, if you've avoided "pinot blah", find this.Tasted: 02 August 2017Tasted by: Prices:| BC | $17.90 | 750ml | winery direct, private retail, restaurants |
