Stoneboat Pinot House Pinot Noir 2014
Oliver, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaForest berries, raspberry, dried leaves, earth, well worn wood fill this southern Okanagan pinot noir. The ripe, sun-warmed fruit is brightened by Stoneboat's calcareous-studded soils, which is a boon. The soft palate is framed with slender, but strong tannins and time in both stainless and oak has resulted in freshness, plus peppery spiced structure. Of course this is now four years along, and showing the better for it, settled confidently into itself. A generous, fresh and medium-bodied pinot, Sonoma Coast-esque, drinking very well now.Tasted: 27 April 2018Tasted by: Prices:BC | $21.39 | 750ml | winery direct, private wine shops |
