Pinot Noir 'Artist' 2022
Tasting Notes
This Pinot Noir is beautiful, light red in colour. Morello cherry, cola, and five-spice on the nose. The palate boasts sweet pipe tobacco and an herbal freshness. The tannins are soft and dusty.
Food Pairing
Tian Provençal with grilled beef tenderloin. Neapolitan style pizza topped with prosciutto, fresh mozzarella and basil. Cozy evenings on the porch.
Terroir
Pinot Noir from two vineyards. Planted in 2007, the Kozier vineyard is located on the Naramata Bench, 4 km north of the winery. The 15-acre vineyard is a gently sloping amphitheatre, steeper as it approaches the mountainside. It faces west toward Okanagan Lake. The Roche estate vineyard vines, planted in 2017, are deeply rooted in a mix of silt, organic matter and gravel.
