Upper Bench Pinot Noir 2012

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaTwine, earth and light campfire smoke lead to a dark and concentrated spicy palate. Cherry pie, powdered sage, earthy cedar stave and peppery spice. The finish is a bit hot and clunky. Feels like the oak (French, 30 percent new, for 14 months) has overwhelmed the promising fruit here.Tasted: 19 March 2015Tasted by: Prices:
