Massive Pinot... needs 10+ years in bottle. 3 hour decant was not enough for our tasting. High acid, huge floral component... unique and not everyone’s cup of tea.

Start your vacation in Vancouver with a glass of this wonderful Pinot Noir or open a bottle wherever you are and imagine you’re smelling the breeze off the sea , the scent of the pine, and the sunset that doesn’t finish in the summer.

Paired it with Latchi Indian food from Penticton while the fires are raging in Christie Mountain. Wines like this make you forget the world around you. What a crazy year you’ve been 2020!
