Oak Bay Vineyard Pinot Noir 2020
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe Gebert family consistently turns out inexpensive pinot noir, an oxymoron if ever there was one. As noted before, sometimes it is not what a pinot noir is, but it's more about what it isn't. This earthy, spicy, bright pinot with a touch of tomato leaf, red fruit, and forest floor hits the palate in a lively fashion without using oak, alcohol, or sugar to attract. I like its silky round tannins dusted with a hint of soy and balsamic. Perfect for drinking now at lunch or dinner with salmon or pork. A fine example of when that is not overthought.Tasted: 28 April 2022Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $22.00 | 750ml | winery direct, private wine shops |
