Haywire Garnet Valley Ranch Pinot Noir 2018
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaYear two organically certified fruit from the spectacular Garnet Valley project is a wine of two stories. The nose is cool with soaring floral notes, a touch of reduction, and some smoky undertones. There is bright, fresh red fruit with stony mineral fruit support on the palate before a smoky, campfire, bacon fat theme kicks in. It is all wild-fermented in concrete and open top stainless tanks for a month. Twice daily punchdowns preceded a basket press and ten more months of storage in concrete. The acidity easily pierces its silky finish. Given the smoky tone, I recommend serving this now with food for best results. Lots of promise here to be something special in a better year.Tasted: 25 May 2021Tasted by: Prices:| BC | $34.90 | 750ml | winery online/direct |
