21715Experience the finest Pinot Noir, cultivated in vineyards near the ocean's embrace. Aromas of cherry nibs and flint entice the nose, while the palate is graced with vibrant red cranberry and cherry flavors, beautifully balanced by silky, soft tannins.
Awards Notes: BC Pinot Noir 90: Overall, very delicate with light intensity of flavours though they are lengthy and thoroughly balanced and all ride on a singing acidity. Mandarin peel, dried mushroom and saffron crept in too as it opened up. The clarity of flavour, grace of its balance and persistence of flavours, light though they may be, is the charm here. Pacific Rim Wine Competition - SILVERTasting Notes: Cherry nibs and flint on the nose. Red cranberry and cherry dominates on the palate with silky soft tannins.Farm Notes: 2022 was off to a very slow start with unusually cool temperatures and higher precipitation but recovered by June bringing dry warm weather through to the end of October to allow high brix with zero disease. The average sunlight was between 14-16 hours during the growing period with an average monthly precipitation of 3.6 cm.Maker Notes: De-stemmed with no crush to fermenters. 2-3 punch downs daily until native fermentation.
