Blue Grouse Pinot Noir 2024

Cowichan Valley, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, CanadaThe deep freeze never made it to Vancouver Island in 2024, where Blue Grouse winemaker Stacy Hornemann has released her best pinot noir yet. It was fermented in a mix of stainless steel and amphora, then aged in neutral French and Hungarian oak. At just over 12% alcohol, it is a benchmark of the island pinot style, a slender expression with a perfect balance of red cherry and minerals dusted with sea salt. Balanced and lingering, it is as light as a feather through the finish. Drink or hold through 2029. Refined and a taste of what is to come from Blue Grouse.Tasted: 21 September 2026Tasted by: Prices:
