Cowichan Valley, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, CanadaFrom their eponymous estate vineyard in the Cowichan Valley, this pinot noir was a joy to discover. There's real depth and character here, with a lifted nose of wild black raspberry, dark cherry, and perfumed violets. The fruit is pure and, well, just plain gorgeous. It's light on its feet with fine, silky tannins and great verve and energy. Well done. I look forward to trying more from Emandare Vineyard.Tasted: 03 August 2021Tasted by: Prices:

Cowichan Valley, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, CanadaIn 2019, Emandare employed 50% whole bunch for the first time in their pinot noir. From organically farmed estate vines and clones 114, 115, 667, 777, this was native fermented in open top neutral French puncheons, with 10 months rest before bottling, unfined and unfiltered. Bright and fresh, with crunchy raspberry, and perfumed cherry wrapping around a soft core, with a wash of salinity on the lingering finish. Quite charming, and drinking beautifully now.Tasted: 29 April 2021Tasted by: Prices:
