Black Swift Vineyards Stone's Throw Vineyard Pinot Noir 2017
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe lower Black Sage Bench, alongside Stone Boat Vineyards, is home to this mix of pinot noir clones 114, 115, 667 and 777, that post ferment spends 19 months in neutral barrels. The site is cool for the Black Sage Bench, but still warm for pinot noir, and you feel it on the nose and the palate. Sweet and slightly lifted aromas, with earth, cherries and a touch of raisin. The attack is soft, round, and mouthfilling with more chocolate cherry fruit and a warm baking spice finish. Not as rustic as last year, yet lacking the freshness of 2016. Fun, round, and ready to drink. Try this with duck pizza, or a mushroom or pork risotto dish.Tasted: 05 November 2019Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $59.99 | 750ml | winery direct, select retailers and restaurants |
