Summerland Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaLove how this wine is still shining nearly four full years post ferment, and if anything, putting on a bit of weight. Canyonview is a 2ha vineyard on four east/west terraces facing south. The land slopes down into Trout Creek Canyon and is under constant air movement to cool the vineyard in summer and warm it up a bit in the winter. The wine was fermented in small batches with wild yeast, and underwent manual punch downs. It was then transferred to age in concrete tanks for 11 months. Sweet cherries with brown spices (like Russian River) further plump this pinot up beyond its normally cool roots. The finish is long and soft with sweet, smoky, raspberry jam notes, pipe tobacco and cinnamon. Very hedonistic.Tasted: 06 December 2018Tasted by: Prices:

Haywire Pinot Noir Canyonview Vineyard 2014

Summerland Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaGenerously ripe for a change which gives this pinot a chance to spread its mouth-filling wings. Lots of sweet cherries with brown spices (like Russian River) further plump this pinot up beyond its normally cool roots. The finish is long and soft with smoky sweet raspberry jam notes, sweet pipe tobacco and cinnamon. It was fermented wild and aged in concrete for 11 months giving it a soft sheen and an easy-drinking manner. Very hedonistic. Made to drink now this would be great in restaurants. Canyonview is a picture perfect little vineyard in upper Summerland, overlooking the wild Trout Creek Canyon.Tasted: 22 August 2017Tasted by: Prices:

Haywire Pinot Noir Canyonview Vineyard 2014

Summerland Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaSweet raspberry, forest berries, stewed cherry and cinnamon spicing in the 2014 Canyonview Pinot Noir (yes, current release). Light smoke, raspberry jam amidst a cloud of blurry tannins and sweet pipe tobacco, this was fermented wild and aged in concrete for 11 months. Soft, round and meant to drink now, this is appealing for an everyday pinot.Tasted: 22 August 2017Tasted by: Prices:
