8th Generation Vineyard Pinot Noir 2012
British Columbia, CanadaPale with a touch of garnet only on the rim, the nose is an unusual but intriguing, harmonized assembly of rich marsh-like aromas that include dried dark currants, preserved black plums, charcoal, wet leaves, and licocrice. The tastes are similar and also include red currants, underripe blackberries, and leaf smoke. There's not a big initial flavour impact here or overall intensity but the second half is compelling, mainly mid-palate, and fades very slowly into a finish containing complex, contributing tannins along with the elements of dried currants, marsh, and licorice. There's great focused purity of flavour throughout. Remarkable.Tasted: 28 August 2024Tasted by: Brent GushowatyPrices:| BC | $23.49 | 750ml | winery direct or private wine stores |
