Cowichan Valley, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, CanadaA delightful assemblage here of savoury cherry, raspberry, pomegranate and some forest floor, along with restrained alcohol and fine grained tannins. This Cowichan Valley sub-GI blend has a small percentage of Saison Vineyard fruit. A fine example of how far pinot noir from this area has evolved. The takeaway here is the clarity of fruit, a finely tuned balance, and a very agreeable tension between all elements.Tasted: 20 August 2023Tasted by: Prices:

Cowichan Valley, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, CanadaAnother classic island pinot draws you into the glass with a modest 12 percent alcohol. The colour is pale, the style refreshingly delicate with bright acidity. Pick your cool red fruit descriptor from raspberries to cherries to cranberries and pomegranate: it has it all in measured and balanced amounts. The finish is earthy, stemmy, and spicy curry with a lovely mineral underscore. An intellectual pinot that suggests the future of Cowichan Valley is as bright as this wine. Mott 32 Bejing duck is the match.Tasted: 16 August 2022Tasted by: Prices:
