ABOUT THE WINE
The grapes for our Pinot Noir came from three vineyards: Anderson and Road 5 in Oliver, and Rocky Ridge in the Similkameen Valley. All batches were harvested in September, destemmed and lightly crushed, then fermented in separate tanks on skins for 2 weeks before pressing. The Road 5 and Anderson batches were barrel aged [100% French oak was used of which 4% was new], while the Rocky Ridge batch aged in concrete tanks. All batches were blended together after 10 months of ageing and were filtered and bottled 2 months after that.
TASTING NOTES
A bright ruby red colour with a bouquet of red cherry and red currant fruit, balanced by earth and spice notes. A light to medium-bodied elegant Pinot Noir with flavours of cherry, red berry, and earth. Notes of red berry tea, cherry, pomegranate, spice, and earth linger on the dry finish. Enjoy now through 2028.
