Modesta Pinot Noir Rama 2022

Oliver, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaModesta is a small, family owned estate winery established in 2019 by Mark Morrison and Tanya Tougas. The first commercial releases followed several years of careful vineyard development and planning. They chose the name Modesta to reflect their values of humility, restraint, and respect for their land. Stay tuned, as we have newer vintages to review as well. We just discovered the 2021 Rama Vineyard last week and were once again impressed by the melt-in-your-mouth character of the 2022 Rama Pinot. It has a bit more intensity, weight, spice, and alcohol, but the balance remains, and the mouthfeel is terrific. Like 2021, it is a pale pour but is a thoroughly enjoyable pinot that highlights nuance and finesse. Its elevated flavour intensity, without overwhelming you with oak or alcohol, is a rare trait in New World pinot. Expect spicy, cherry, tea notes in a wine you can enjoy now.Tasted: 25 February 2026Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
