TH Wines Pinot Noir 2014
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaIt's been years since I've tried Tyler Harlton's (TH) wines, so I was pleased to taste through a few recently. Tyler has a tiny, garagiste winery in Summerland, with small-scale, hands-on and expressive wines. Not very much is made, and what is released is very quickly snapped up by those in the know (hence, my lengthy gap in trying). The 2014 pinot, not current release, was sourced from a cooler facing vineyard just north of Oliver. silky and smooth, with a smoked pipe tobacco frame housing cherry jam, perfumed black plum, earth, twine, black pepper. There's a balsamic swing on the finish. Ripe and round, this reminds me of cooler Cali.Tasted: 21 September 2017Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $33.00 | 750ml | winery direct |
