Lakeboat Pinot Noir 2020
Kaleden, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaInitially some rounded, darker, fragrant mulberry and ripe cherry settle into a mid-palate of blueberry, plum, and marionberry, matched with a slightly relaxed acidity. Approachable, straightforward, and well textured, with moderate alcohol and a plush, outstretched finish. In 2016, Tara Mathison purchased an older house in Kaleden that happened to be surrounded by the vineyard of Topshelf Winery, which was also for sale. Fast forward to the Lakeboat Winery, which opened in 2022. This 2020 pinot noir is the inaugural vintage. Though Kaleden is not yet a sub-GI, Lakeboat strives to produce all its wines with fruit from the area. The consulting winemaker is Mireille Sauvé.Tasted: 27 October 2023Tasted by: Brent GushowatyPrices:| $30.00 | 750ml |
