Unsworth Vineyards Pinot Noir 2021
Cowichan Valley, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, CanadaThe standard Unsworth Pinot is a selection of hillside grapes from three Vancouver Island vineyards: Saison Vineyard, Unsworth Vineyard, and Zanatta Vineyard. The winemaking is do-not-do-much, and the results are brilliant. Island pinot is distinctively different, beginning with barely any alcohol, vibrant acidity, and silky textures. The flavours run the gamut of sour cherries, red plums, and spice, mixed with a damp forest floor and minimal tannins. Whole berries are pressed and fermented in stainless steel and aged in barriques of varying ages with a kiss of new oak. Dry and complex, this is a pinot searching for protein like salmon tartare or spicy tuna rolls.Tasted: 27 July 2023Tasted by: Prices:| BC | $38.90 | 750ml | winery online/direct, select private retailers |
