Blue Mountain Pinot Noir 2016
Okanagan Falls, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThis recipe is nailed now, as it is one of Blue Mountain's flagship wines. Estate vines from 10 to 32 years, and across six clones, make up this wine, one de-stemmed before native fermentation and time in French oak before being bottled unfiltered the following spring. Give this young wine a little time to breathe in the glass to reveal soft deep plum, black raspberry, all tinged with light pipe tobacco and seasoned with whispers of pink peppercorn. Tannins are slight, to match the slighter, softer palate. Though drinking well know, this deserves time in bottle.Tasted: 21 September 2018Tasted by: Prices:BC | $30.00 | 750ml | winery direct, private wine shops |
