Lakeboat Pinot Noir 2023

Kaleden, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe 2023 Lakeboat pinot noir comes from Kaleden, just south of Penticton on the west shore of Skaha Lake. The early morning sun and late day shade create ideal conditions for the grapes to develop slowly and gracefully, and this wine reflects that. Strawberries with a hint of vanilla and soft, silky tannins are the story of this highly drinkable and affordable pinot. Lakeboat is owned by Tara Mathison, who originally purchased an older house in Kaleden, surrounded by the vineyard of Topshelf Winery, which was also for sale.Tasted: 15 May 2026Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
