CedarCreek Aspect Collection Block 2 Pinot Noir 2023

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe 2023 Block 2 continues last year's success with style. It is a serious yet friendly pinot with a fruity overtone of darker berries, reflecting one of the warmest years on record. Oak ageing has been reduced by another month to nine months, further preserving site character and fruit purity. Open and attractive in its youth, this sophisticated pinot noir speaks to the North Okanagan and to the work of former winemaker Taylor Whelan, current winemaker Andrés Pizzaro, and viticulturist Kurt Simic. As the vineyard ages and Pizzaro makes light tweaks, this is a label you can look to for excellence in most years. Drink or hold, there is no rush here. Block 2 sits lower inside the Home Block Vineyard, at the winery's estate in South Kelowna.Tasted: 20 August 2026Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
