Tightrope Winery Pinot Noir Rubis 2020
Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaA single-vineyard pinot from Rubis Vineyard on the Naramata Bench, this was wild fermented and aged for 10 months in French barriques (30% new). It opens with enticing floral aromatics and pure sweet cherry, framed by integrated oak spice, leading to a juicy yet richly concentrated palate that's structured by firm, woody tannins. This will benefit from another 2-3 years in bottle. Otherwise splash decant and serve with roasted pork loin.Tasted: 28 November 2022Tasted by: Prices:BC | $35.00 | 750ml | winery direct, private wine shops |
