Moraine Pinot Noir 2020

Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe Moraine Pinot comes off the home estate Sophia Vineyard on the Naramata Bench, the unofficial sweet spot of the Okanagan Valley. It is clone 777 carefully made from hand harvesting and a whole berry fermentation. Look for fresh, lively, red-fruited, Rainier cherry flecked with floral rose petals and violet, with a brushing of toasted oak. The classic pairing is duck confit, but tuna or salmon work too — a lovely wine for mid-term drinking.Tasted: 29 January 2022Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
