Mission Hill Reserve Pinot Noir 2017

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:
