Tightrope Winery Pinot Noir Rubis 2020
Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThis rather reserved pinot noir doesn’t reveal itself all at once, but instead, it displays its layers one at a time. It opens with spicy and nutty notes dusted with black tea and jasmine-scented florals. Red and dark berries come a step behind followed by dusty earthy minerality. Fine, yet substantial tannins along with bright acidity shapes the palate. The finish is long leaving charming subtle smokiness.Tasted: 27 January 2023Tasted by: Prices:BC | $35.00 | 750ml | winery direct, private wine shops |
