Fitzpatrick The Elusive Pinot Noir 2019

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaFrom the southern blocks of their estate Greata Ranch, this vintage employed 23% whole bunch, and aged in French barrels (10% new) before heading to bottle without fining or filtration. This is a darker shade of pinot, with black raspberries and black cherries ruling, and soft plum filling out the fleshy core. Tannins are somewhat astringent, yet pasty, making for a somewhat disjointed mix. This is best taken with grilled mushrooms or burgers to mitigate.Tasted: 29 July 2021Tasted by: Prices:
