Tinhorn Creek Pinot Noir 2016
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaSweet, soft potpourri perfume pervades this Golden Mile estate pinot noir. Native fermented, fifteen percent whole cluster, this was aged in oak (small percent new) for a year prior to this release. Plum, blackberry, damson plum is swirled with a bitter edge that helps hold tension, an important element in a 14 degree pinot. Tannins are black tea astringent, and autumnal spices linger on the finish. Drink this now with duck or richer pork dishes.Tasted: 21 September 2018Tasted by: Prices:BC | $23.99 | 750ml | specialty listing, vqa and private wine shops |
