Modesta Estate Pinot Noir 2022

Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaModesta's 2022 Pinot Noir Estate is a small batch pinot from the Naramata Bench. Having just tasted the '21 Rama Vineyard Pinot, I found the 2022, made with Modesta Vineyard fruit aged for a year in neutral oak barrels, following the culture of low intervention at Modesta. It opens with a light ruby hue. The palate is noticeably drier and spicier, with more forest floor and lesser strawberry and cherry. It is fresher, but is currently best served with grilled chicken or a mushroom pizza.Tasted: 25 February 2026Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
