Cowichan Valley, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, CanadaFrom Cowichan Valley, this pinot noir was fermented partially whole cluster and rested in amphora before 16 months of barrel aging. Lifted plums and black raspberries are kissed with autumnal forest and glide along a streamlined palate, finishing with a warming spice. Tannins are fine and lithe, and acidity is coastal bright. A lovely bright look at a darker shaded pinot noir; enjoy this with wild mushrooms.Tasted: 18 November 2023Tasted by: Prices:

Cowichan Valley, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, CanadaIt shows cherry pie crust, clay, forest floor, and some red licorice aromas, with a light body, intensity, and touches of various savoury berries. Tannins are supple but holding some finish in their grip just now. It needs another year in the bottle to properly unfurl. The wine is a 50/50 blend of Saison Vineyard and the winery's 35-year-old estate blocks that aim to create a balanced expression of Cowichan Pinot Noir.Tasted: 22 August 2023Tasted by: Prices:
