Crowsnest Vineyards Pinot Noir 2016
Similkameen Valley, British Columbia, CanadaPretty crimson in colour, full of youthful appearance, with young aromas to match of chokecherry, and wild berries. There is a distinct herbal aroma that manifests on the palate as a savoury line through quite tart and perky red fruit. Considerable oak supports the herbal/berry flavours, and contributes to a weighty mouthfeel. The Similkameen's rugged conditions show well here, with decent concentration and a distinct salty note on the quite oaky finish. The alcohol is a trim 12% and helps it stay juicy and energetic.Tasted: 04 June 2019Tasted by: Prices:BC | $21.99 | 750ml | winery direct, private wine shops |
