Oak Bay Vineyard Gebert Family Reserve Pinot Noir 2019
East Kelowna Slopes, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe Family Reserve is equally compelling for its simplicity and svelte demeanour, leaving one to focus on the pinot noir. It is richer, and you feel a rub of tannin, but the oak is in order, and the intensity is appropriately ratcheted up over the regular version. The style is dry and spicy, continuing down the less-is-more pinot road. Light black cherries mix with raspberries and a dash of oak, setting the pint noir free. Food-friendly and ready to drink. Pork, salmon, duck, take your pick.Tasted: 01 January 2021Tasted by: Prices:BC | $35.00 | 750ml | winery online/direct, select private retailers |
