Blue Mountain Estate Cuvée Pinot Noir 2017
Okanagan Falls, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaBlue Mountain is reshaping its pinot noir program. It’s big news given the success of phase one, now thirty years old. It’s a gradual progression, and one that will see high performing blocks get some special recognition and unique bottlings. It all begins with estate pinot, the property calling card if you like, and it's essential that it doesn’t suffer at the hands of the new single block pinots coming to market. The Estate Cuvée is primarily a mix of young vines (averaging 10 years) and a mix of French clones 114, 115, 667, and 777. The estate is never showy like some New World pinots, but rather reserved and understated. Plums and cherries are lightly dusted in earth and oak with a modicum of spice and a soft, silky, ready-to-drink finish. A simple mushroom pizza is all you need to finish the match.Tasted: 15 September 2019Tasted by: Prices:| BC | $35.00 | 750ml | winery direct, private wine shops |
