Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe Blanc de Noir is handpicked from a single block of 1985 Clone 93 Pinot Noir. Described as a "pale sunset pink," this sophisticated fizz is reminiscent of Champagne. Fresh cut red apple and wild strawberry with a nutty brioche underside create refreshing highly sippable bubbles. The finish is all you could want in complexity, length, tension, and salinity. Drink or hold this will keep through 2027. The method is traditional: the base wine is made in used puncheons and barriques; the secondary bottle fermentation was aged for 22 months in a bottle on its lees before disgorgement; and a five g/L dosage of the Tantalus still 2019 Pinot Noir was added back.Tasted: 12 July 2022Tasted by: Prices:
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaHand-picked from a single block of 1985 planted Clone 93 Pinot Noir, this was native fermented in barriques and puncheons over 7 months on lees prior to moving to bottle for secondary ferment and 22 more months on lees. It was disgorged in March 2022 with 5 g/L dosage via their still 2019 Pinot Noir. Fragrant cherry, raspberry blossoms, cherry brioche, almond float along the palate, strung with pithy pink grapefruit and rainier cherry acidity through the salt studded finish. Very singular, and striking.Tasted: 25 June 2022Tasted by: Prices:
