Blue Mountain Pinot Noir 2015

Okanagan Falls, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaCured pork, light smoke and tobacco season some serious black raspberry, cherry, flecked with thorns. The attack is earthy with hints of celery and a fine peppery grip that frames wine from front to back. Despite the warm year and the darker, more flush, duskier fruit, the wine remains gentle, light and finessed. Hold until 2019 then drink through 2026. From the home vineyard with vines (113, 114, 115, 375, 667 and 777) ranging from 9-31 years in age, it was destemmed before a native ferment, the first 100 percent wild ferment in tank, for 20 days, before pressing into French oak where it rested until the following summer.Tasted: 20 October 2017Tasted by: Treve Ring & Anthony GismondiPrices:
