WineDiva's Review

Potent, luscious, generous.
Made from grapes sourced from Okanagan Falls (and 5% from Naramata Bench) this potent Pinot was aged 12 months in new (22%) and neutral oak barrels--it's 14.2% alcohol.
It has a chocolaty character with cherry, raspberry and sarsaparilla aromas atop earth and cedary undertones. Mimicking the nose, a fleshy palate is laden with generous fruit, spice and pipe tobacco flavours. It's a ripe but balanced version, smooth in texture, supple in weight and boasts long and luscious finish.


 
Recommended Pairings
Barbeque, Seafood/Fish, White Meat Chicken/Pork
