CedarCreek Platinum Pinot Noir 2022
East Kelowna Slopes, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaEast Kelowna Slopes refers to the gently sloping land formed by Mission Creek in the last ice age. A large outwash fan of glacial debris formed in East Kelowna, leading to a wealth of variable soils. The distance from Lake Okanagan allows the slopes to warm during the day, leading to dark fruit flavours and dense tannins in the local pinot noir. Expect a brooding style of dark cherries, plums, and even a whiff of cassis. While firm and present, the structure isn’t overbearing, and the tannins are supple. If you like the generous New World style, this is for you. The wine is naturally fermented wild in a 70/30 concrete and stainless steel mix before aging for 14 months in 35% new French oak barrels. There is no rush to drink pinot, clocking in at only 13% alcohol; it will only expand in the bottle through 2023—another level.Tasted: 04 October 2024Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $67.00 | 750ml | winery online/direct, select private retailers, restaurants |
