Van Westen Vineyards Di Bello Wines VD Pinot Noir 2020

Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, Canada2020 marks a decade of collaboration between the Van Westen and Di Bello families, with the ominously named VD Pinot Noir. As always, the style is hedonistic, and in 2020 it remains committed to the design. Look for rich black fruit mixed with red fruit streaks and a touch of umami. Sonoma north style with silky but textured black fruit, floral violet notes, earthy raspberry, black cherry, and Okanagan freshness. Drink or hold The Pommard clone fruit is grown at Granite Ridge Vineyard aged in French oak barrels for nine months. Richer Chinese duck dishes, pork belly, or salmon/soy dishes work here.Tasted: 19 October 2021Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
