Rocky Creek Pinot Noir 2016
Cowichan Valley, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, CanadaThe 2015 growing season was a winner in the Cowichan Valley and this wine is showing some improvement over last year. The colour is pale red with fresh, spicy, forest floor - more terroir, less fruit. The attack is fresh with skinny, sappy cherry, plums and cedar with a film of oak and some drying tannins in the finish. It will need some more time in bottle. Nice to see a natural cork this year. Best now with fatty dishes, like duck liver paté.Tasted: 29 October 2018Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $30.00 | 750ml | winery direct, private wine shops |
