Tasting Notes
There is a depth and intensity to this wine while still being light and bright on the palate. Dark cherries and bramble fill the nose and mid palate leading to a long and silky finish. This wine drinks beautifully upon release but will age gracefully for 5-8 years.
Vineyard Notes
With southern exposure and a free draining soil type we love the breadth and ripeness of flavours achieved from Saison Vineyard fruit.
Winemaker Notes
Our 2022 Saison Vineyard Pinot Noir is a blend of 3 clones we work with. The blend is 50% 828, 25% 667, and 25% 777. Selected from barrels that exemplify a glimpse into the future of what Pinot Noir can display from the Cowichan Valley.
Food Pairing Notes
Structured and earthy with cool-climate finesse, this single-vineyard Pinot sings with grilled lamb, truffle pasta, or wild mushrooms. A collector’s pick for refined holiday meals.
