Rocky Creek Pinot Noir 2015
Cowichan Valley, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, CanadaFrom two of Rocky Creek's estate Cowichan Valley vineyards, the vines age from 8-20 years and grown on cobble and clay. The plastic corked bottle I opened was highly oxidative, with worn raspberry, sour cherries and spice. Spicing was bright though acidity was mild, and worked to lift the very tired fruit to the short finish. This wine is the resultant of a saignée, fermented for two weeks with selected yeasts and stored in French oak for 16 months before bottling. Too bad about the closure, which I suspect affected this bottle.Tasted: 27 June 2018Tasted by: Prices:| BC | $25.00 | 750ml | winery direct, private wine shops |
