Blue Mountain Pinot Noir Single Vineyard Block 14 Gravel Force 2022

Okanagan Falls, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThis comes from Blue Mountain's oldest pinot noir block, now 35 years old, planted on a combination of gravel, loamy sand, and clay. It's a warmer block, with westerly and southern exposures, and this is certainly the ripest of the three single block pinots from this vintage. It shows macerated dark cherry and plum with cola spices, candied rose, and desert shrubs. The palate is rich and glycerous, with fine, silky tannins and rounded acidity, in an almost hedonistic style that still shows exceptional purity of fruit. Immensely satisfying and highly recommended.Tasted: 28 September 2024Tasted by: Geoffrey Moss MWPrices:
