Cowichan Valley, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, CanadaFrom Vancouver Island’s Cowichan Valley, this pinot noir has rested post-ferment in amphoras before spending 16 months in barrels. The attack is fresh and pure, pitching plums and black raspberries with a savoury underside of earth and leaves, and a dollop of spice at the back end. The texture is well managed with firm but pliable tannins and a signature fresh terroir full of bright acid. It is a perfect fall or winter wine you can serve with mushroom dishes or grilled salmon.Tasted: 29 August 2024Tasted by: Prices:

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:
