Blue Mountain Reserve Pinot Noir 2015
Okanagan Falls, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaAmple sweet smoke pervades this reserve pinot noir, a mix of four French clones from 9-31 years of age. A small part of whole clusters were employed before ample punch down prior to this being pressed into French oak barrels, where it remained for 16 months. Alongside that sweet smoke, this pulls salami, forest floor, dried cherry, ripe raspberry, ripe cherry and mulberry spicing along a plump palate. Soft tannins guide this to a peppery, cinnamon, smoked, warming finish. This has Sonoma pinot softness, but lacks Okanagan acidity, which weighs the whole down. Missing the vibrant acidity here to match the ripe fruit.Tasted: 27 April 2018Tasted by: Prices:| BC | $39.90 | 750ml | winery direct; private wine shops |
