Liber Estates Rebil Pinot Noir 2020
Cawston, Similkameen Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe Rebel (Liber backwards) Pinot Noir is grown metres from the west-facing banks of the Similkameen River, about four kilometres from the US border. The organic vineyard is uniquely positioned to take advantage of the sometimes cool, sometimes warm, wild and windy site that gets much sun from what winemaker Mike Dowell calls "the shimmer effect." He explains the sun bouncing off the bend of the Similkameen at peak spring run-off warms the vines in late spring, helping to kick start the vines toward flowering and set. This is a juicy, mid-weight, savoury pinot with an earthy forest floor, silky textures, cinnamon spice, and a dusting of light tannins. At 13.6 percent alcohol, it is easy to sip. Simple grilled or baked salmon with a soya-based marinade would be a fine match.Tasted: 08 December 2023Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $49.99 | 750ml | winery online/direct |
