Foxtrot Pinot Noir Foxtrot Vineyard 2015
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaEverybody claimed careful management of the vineyard during the super hot 2015 vintage, but few achieved their goal. At Foxtrot, the home vineyard was hand-harvested September 19, the earliest ever, but even that couldn’t overcome the baked fruit and raisiny flavours that heat the wine from front to back. In all, this pinot spent 20 months in French oak, 50 percent new and 50 percent 2nd and 3rd-year barrels before it was bottled unfiltered. Black cherries and spice dominate the nose and mid-palate, with stark resiny, earthy, savoury flavours in the finish. It’s okay, but it lacks the charm and mouth-filling character we associate with pinot. It is best drunk young before it falls apart.Tasted: 25 June 2019Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $49.99 | 750ml |
