Review Summary:
100% Pinot Noir from Waters & Banks’ soon to be certified organic vineyard, on a steep limestone and granite slope high above Lake Okanagan. Minimal intervention, fermented using native yeast in an 800-litre clay amphora, aged undisturbed on skins for eight months, then pressed, aged for two months more and bottled unfiltered without any additives. Pure fruit expression, with intense, vibrant raspberry, cherry and dark berry notes before a fruit driven, plush palate defined by freshness and acidity with spicy and mocha hints and a touch of schist, before a lingering, fruity close.
