Community Tasting Note

Saturday, April 30, 2011 - Dark red, looks over extracted. Quite restrained on the nose, some earthy notes and typical Okanagan terroir scents. But yes - over extracted and over oaked for my liking - difficult for that pinot noir elegance and strawberry/raspberry flavours to shine through. Yummy sour cherries and good acidity though. Slightly bitter oak tannins, seems like they tried too hard - must have been dull grapes when they had to cover them up so much..? Quite quaffable wine nevertheless and decent with pork from the bbq, but even at this price, outclassed by several other Okanagan pinot noirs.
