Mirabel Estate Pinot Noir 2018
East Kelowna Slopes, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe heavy bottle suggests you're about to pour a full-throttle pinot, and there is an element of truth in the packaging. Low yields of only 2.5 tons per acre have no doubt helped to give this remarkable concentration and fruit density, bolstered by the ripeness on display. It's medium-full-bodied, broad, and mouth-filling, with a smooth, glycerious texture and silky tannins to match. The fruit is also pushing into the dark end of the spectrum, with black cherry and black raspberry, but that's only part of the story. What makes this pinot so compelling is the layers of spice, dried red florals, underbrush, and beetroot. It draws you back into the glass, as pinot elusively can. The real deal and worth every penny.Tasted: 10 July 2021Tasted by: Geoffrey Moss MWPrices:| BC | $49.00 | 750ml | winery online/direct |
