Three days in the Okanagan Valley; 6/18/2011-6/20/2011 (British Columbia, Canada): Only 12.5% alcohol. Pretty thick and big aromas. Blind, I'd never guess this to be Pinot Noir. Surprisingly after the large nose, the palate is quite thin and drying. Really bitter and slightly metallic notes arise as it builds on the tongue. Really drying and not pleasing. The finish leaves the tongue and whole mouth craving moisture. Light typical Pinot fruits here that were similar to those on the palate, though this is entirely dominated by its dryness. It's hard to drink alone.
