Meyer Family Vineyards Pinot Noir - B Field Blend McLean Creek Road Vineyard 2020
Okanagan Falls, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaB Field Blend is new at Meyer. The fruit is centred around 2017 B Block on the estate, McLean Creek Road Vineyard. The vines are planted over gravels and sandy loams that slope across the property, providing excellent drainage for wind and water to the Dijon clones 115, 667, 777. The style is deeper and darker than the norm at Meyer, beginning with less fruit and more terroir. Earthy, plummy, dried black plums mark the palate with a solid dusting of baking spices. Tight and youthful, it is more suited to pork dishes at this point. Cellar through 2025.Tasted: 27 October 2021Tasted by: Prices:
Meyer Family Vineyards Pinot Noir - B Field Blend McLean Creek Road Vineyard 2020
Okanagan Falls, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaB Field Blend is a new release from Meyer, with fruit primarily off the 2017 B Block of their estate McLean Creek Road Vineyard's sloping gravels and sandy loams, planted to Dijon clones 115, 667, 777. The fruit was picked and cofermented together. Destemmed fruit was macerated and native fermented over two weeks before heading to French barrels for 11 months' rest. It was bottled without fining or filtration. Wild plum, wild blackberry, morello cherry carries an easy lofted acidity across the smooth, silken, darker shaded palate, framed with lightly spiced tannins, and finishing with a generous dusting of baking spice. This youthful pinot is showing well now, and is a worthwhile crack alongside duck or pork tenderloin.Tasted: 13 November 2021Tasted by: Prices:
