An intense wine showcasing the Okanagan spirit of Pinot Noir: ripe black staccatto cherry, black current, baked blueberries, and a breath of roasted red pepper. The initial power gives way to layers of structured tannin that promises years of drinkability but still with the silky presence to drink now. The finish presents the impression of freshly toasted cashews, black pepper, and slatey minerality. The truly quintessential Okanagan Pinot Noir.
Savoury aromas of dried sage and rosemary. Smoked meats, sandalwood, wild rose and a touch of pepper present themselves as the wine develops in the glass.
Flavours of blueberry, ripe black cherry, vanilla, candied orange zest, black tea, lavender, licorice, cacao and white truffle. Integrated tannic structure gives the wine traction but it is not overbearing and presents a silky finish.
The mouth is in for a treat as only the best Riesling components come together in this 2016 offering. Lime leaf, pear, and white Rainier cherries greet upon entry. Green apple and pronounced granite mineral elements finish off with racy acidity and tension completing what will likely again be the must have Riesling of 2016.
A lively mix of fresh young garden strawberries, guava and yellow bell pepper seamlessly combine for this perfect crowd pleaser. The long refreshing finish comes from the touch of silky pinot skin tannin extracted from our long and slow ferment.
