Little Engine Gold Pinot Noir (Half Bottle) 2022
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe 2022 Gold Pinot Noir matured in a barrel for 15 months with no racking and was bottled in half and full sizes. 40% of the wine was aged in new French puncheons, while the balance was in second fill barrels. Look for an herbaceous forest floor nose with crushed dried herbs and spices. The palate features a mix of cranberries, earthy cherries, and sweet dark plums, supported by a silky texture and a long, saline-dusted finish. No need to wait to drink this. Think grilled polenta and mushrooms, or salmon with a mushroom and cherry sauce.Tasted: 07 November 2024Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $35.50 | 375ml | winery direct |
