The Hatch Birds Eye View Pinot Noir Clone 777 2014
Oliver, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThis vintage The Hatch bottled the three clones of Pinot Noir from their Black Sage Bench Stones Throw Vineyard separately, bottling 50 cases of each, in the same distinct rotund bottle. 115, 667 and 777 are all Dijon clones, all grown, picked and vinified the same. Fermented in stainless steel, these three then went into a mix of new and neutral wood for MLF, before finishing off eight months in neutral oak. Medium bodied, with spiced wood, roasted coffee, stewed sour cherries, dark florals, smoke and a forest undergrowth before a medicinal cherry finish. Tannins are strident though soft, and the finish is amply nutmeg spiced. Sour, stewed cherries and forest linger on the finish. Bold, punchy, bruiser pinot noir.Tasted: 13 January 2017Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $39.99 | 750ml | winery direct |
