Juicy, silky, classic.
Michael Bartier makes honest wines; he trusts the site and the fruit to dictate the wine. This Pinot Noir comes from Kamloops (97%) and the Petit Verdot (3%) from the Similkameen Valley. It was aged 17 months in neutral French oak barrels and tank.
A warmly fragrant wine with lovely sweet cherry and raspberry aromas, vanilla and purple flowers, pipe tobacco and cedar, vanilla and white pepper. It's light-bodied and charming but also earthy and thoughtful. Good length and balance.
New Review: April 2025
Forest floor and cedar, cherry and raspberry, wild herbs, bacon fat and leather aromas lead to a juicy palate brimming with juicy red fruit. Lovely purity here; it is seamless and earthy with classic Pinot character.
