Tantalus Maija Pinot Noir 2019
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaMaija is the next gen Juveniles Pinot Noir, named for owner Eric Savics' daughter. Fruit for this Pinot Noir came off their youngest estate blocks of Dijon plantings, complemented by fruit off a neighbouring vineyard. It was native fermented and then into French barriques (20% new) for 11 months prior to blending and bottling. Though youthful and accessible now, this is by no means dumbed down. Spiced cherry, wild raspberry is framed by lightly toasted spice, and lightly sticky tannins, finishing with nutmeg and a lingering salinity. Smart pinot for drinking now, ideally with wild mushrooms.Tasted: 14 October 2021Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $21.74 | 750ml | winery online, select private retailers |
