Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe Reserve pinot comes off 77 percent estate vineyards in Lakeshore, with the remainder coming from the Naramata Bench. It spends a generous 11 months in French oak and is currently projecting a thin, tight profile laced with red fruits and smooth, smoky tannins. I love the restraint here, allowing the red fruit and dried herbs to carry the backend finishing little less fat and drier than most. Pork chops, mushrooms or soft cheeses work here. It should improve further in the bottle if you can wait.Tasted: 04 June 2019Tasted by: Prices:

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe reserve tier contains the top 15 percent of estate vineyards fruit with an impressive 75 percent return-rate to the same site year over year. 2017 sees 77 percent from estate vineyards in Lakeshore, the remainder from Naramata, all with 11 months in French oak. Tight, lean and punchy, with cranberry/pomegranate on a strident frame, one with smooth, smoked, cedar tannins. There's a pinch of bitter red fruit and balsamic on the finish that makes this wine appear drier and leaner than most local pinots. It's best served with dishes rich in oil /fat to flush out the palate.Tasted: 17 December 2018Tasted by: Prices:
