Oldfield Reseve Pinot Noir 2014

- 91 points -

One batch of the grapes for this Pinot was fermented in small open top fermenters with 30% whole cluster grapes allowed to ferment naturally. The second was destemmed and fermented in closed top tanks with selected yeast. The wine was aged in a small portion of new French oak then aged in bottle for 18 months. It’s a perfectly aged Okanagan Pinot with a nose of dried cherries, strawberry tart, rhubarb, violets and full integrated spice notes. It has a velvety entry that shines a light of the bright red fruits, cran-cherry and anise to go with dried herbs and elegant spice notes through a frisky, finessed finish. Top-drawer Pinot.
