Description

Aromas of vanilla, clove, licorice, and mushroom. Flavours of cranberry, cherry, and raspberry. Has soft tannins and a long-lasting finish. It is light enough for salmon but complex enough to hold up to some richer meat including roast duck.

Growing conditions

These delicate Pinot Noir grapes were lovingly grown in the organic Longview Vineyard on the Naramata Bench. Careful pruning methods were used to ensure the grapes weren’t damaged from the sun but were able to achieve the ripeness required for this elegant wine.
