Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
Notes of strawberry, violet and green tobacco delight the nose and carry through the palate where flavours of red cherry and crushed gravel deepen and refresh. Lifted acidity, fine tannins and a long finish round out this beautifully balanced Pinot Noir.
Vineyard Notes
Pinot Noir grapes were harvested from three pristine, certified organic vineyards located in distinct areas of the Okanagan Valley: Park Hill Vineyard (Okanagan Falls, BC), Esther Vineyard (Kaleden, BC) and Park Hill Vineyard (Oliver, BC). 2020 was a moderately cool growing season in the Okanagan Valley, yielding exceptional red wines of balance and freshness.
Winemaker Notes
A portion of the wine fermented in a large, 10,000L oak foudre while the remainder fermented in small totes. After pressing, it was barreled into neutral oak barriques for six months before blending.
Food Pairing Notes
Enjoy with pan-roasted chicken thighs or earthy lentil and mushroom dishes.
