Fort Berens Pinot Noir Reserve 2017
Lillooet, British Columbia, CanadaPouring a bricking brown hue, this full bodied Reserve Pinot Noir comes from the winery's estate Dry Creek Vineyard in Lillooet. The five clones were fermented separately, and aged in French oak for ten months. Rich and spicy, with ripe plum, dried dark cherry, tobacco, leather, dark cocoa, and ample fragrant musk and rose petals that linger on the warming finish. This is a giant pinot, more akin to a Russian River pinot than northern BC. Would suit rich braised mushroom dishes.Tasted: 04 November 2019Tasted by: Prices:BC | $29.99 | 750ml | winery direct, private wine shops, restaurants |
