JoieFarm PTG 2015
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaIf, like winemaker Heidi Noble, you're a Burgundy nut, you'll know that PTG references Passe-Tout-Grains, the underdog classic that combines pinot noir with gamay. Through her BC lens, that is focused down to 70 percent pinot noir (four clones) from Summerland and Naramata with 30 percent Naramata Bench gamay. Juicy black plum, blackberry, brooding black cherry is tumbled with dried sage and peppercorns and framed with dark cocoa-dusted tannins. There's a fine brace of quenching astringency that keeps this ample medium-bodied red bright, despite the weight and density that makes it a partner for duck or pork.Tasted: 29 September 2017Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $25.90 | 750ml | winery direct, private wine shops |
