90 points - Christopher Waters -
"Made in a refreshing and fragrant style, this pinot noir comes from two estate vineyards on the Black Sage Bench in the Okanagan Valley. The silky texture and complex mix of cherry/berry fruit, floral and spice notes make this easy to appreciate. Drink now to 2027".

Winemaker Notes
Hand picked from our Home and Orchard Grove Vineyards, our Estate Pinot Noir is a blend of multiple clones. It is a true and genuine expression of our soils on the Black Sage Gravelbar. The grape clusters were de-stemmed without crushing in order to leave the whole berries intact. They underwent a short cold soak and a quick fermentation lasting 15 days before being pressed into new and older barrels. The wine then spent 14 months in French oak before being bottled in July of 2021.
