Meyer Pinot Noir 2022
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaPinot noir fans can rejoice: the bargain priced Meyer Family Pinot Noir, aka the Okanagan Valley label, is a winner in 2022. At a modest 13.5% alcohol, this juicy cherry, raspberry pinot has everything you could want under $25. At less than 1 gram per litre of residual sugar, winemaker Chris Carson has worked his magic on this eminently drinkable and affordable red. The grapes enjoyed a long, dry autumn that gives the wine a ripeness that is hard to match in most years. Hand picked from four vineyard sites located in Naramata, Osoyoos, Kaleden and Okanagan Falls, it was aged in neutral French oak barrels and puncheons to allow for some expansion, while leaving no discernible oakiness.
