Meyer Family Vineyards Pinot Noir Micro Cuvée McLean Creek Vineyards 2017
Okanagan Falls, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaSimilar to the 2017 McLean Creek Vineyard Pinot Noir, but with definition, which makes all the difference. This is from the same home vineyard, organically farmed Okanagan Falls site, though this cuvee is the best barrel selections of the vintage. From the site's sloping alluvial and glacial gravels and sandy loams. Micro Cuvee 2016 is predominantly Pommard 91, with four Dijon clones (114, 115, 667, 777). All went into French oak, one new 500L puncheon, and two young French oak puncheons, for 11 months prior to being bottled unfined and unfiltered. The fruit stands up to the wood here, resulting in a harmonious, fuller, balanced blend of black raspberry, cherry, stones and perfumed plum. Dusty tannins house the dusky, textural palate to an elongated, astringent finish, the whole brightened by a gentle acidity. Impressive now in youth, this will reward with time in the cellar.Tasted: 01 April 2019Tasted by: Prices:| BC | $60.00 | 750ml | winery direct, vqa, private retail |
