Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaKitsch Winery is East Kelowna based, and the two vineyards where they grow pinot noir sit over silt, clay, glacial sediments, rock, gravel, and sand. This is pressed with 35% whole cluster bunches, and all of the wine is native fermented after a five-day cold soak, spending a total of 17 days on skins. Post ferment, the wine spends just under one year in French oak. The style is fresh and juicy, somewhat reminiscent of Marlborough pinot noir. Look for plummy blackberries dusted with brown spices, finishing warm and smooth. Not cheap.Tasted: 17 November 2020Tasted by: Prices: BC 40.00 winery direct, private wine shops

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaFrom their East Kelowna estate's gravel and stone soils, this was 35% whole cluster and entirely native fermented, with a 5-day cold soak and 17 days on skins. This then rested in French oak for 10 months. Plush and juicy, with dusky plum, wild blackberries and rafts of fine-grained baking spices running to a lingering finish, with a swell of warmth. Tannins are plush and well-integrated, encouraging cracking into now. Try alongside wild mushroom ragout or pan-seared spiced duck. 425 cases produced.Tasted: 19 December 2020Tasted by: Prices: BC 40.00 winery direct, private wine shops
