East Kelowna, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaIt’s impossible to explain biodynamics to most people but when it’s done right and it's in the glass, well, it sings. I just love this Sperling pinot, biodynamically farmed in East Kelowna. It’s a mix of three French clones and it’s as fresh as they come, in a perfectly restrained manner. The fruit is red and bright with notes of raspberries, cherries, strawberries and spice, aged mostly in large format oak. Perfectly balanced; wow this is amazing, and the value is even better. Real wine. Back up the truck.Tasted: 27 June 2018Tasted by: Prices: BC 22.59 winery direct, private wine shops

East Kelowna, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaBright, lively and lifted: exactly what you'd expect from biodynamically farmed, limestone-soiled pinot noir from the high Okanagan Valley. This is a blend of three Dijon clones, all planted in 2008. Perfumed raspberry, fresh cherries, fragrant strawberries are centered on a kirsch jam-cushion, and textured by 40 percent whole cluster, native ferment and barrel aging in large format French oak (a small part new, which is unnecessary). I appreciate the lighter crimson hue and moderate alcohol here; a huge improvement over the 2015, and a direction I hope the winery continues in. Best expressed with a light chill. Fantastic value.Tasted: 27 April 2018Tasted by: Prices: BC 22.59 winery direct, private wine shops
