This Pinot Noir has a bright ruby red colour and a bouquet of red cherry and red currant fruit, accented by notes of smoke, earth and oak. The elegant frame is supported by soft tannins and food-friendly acidity. Juicy cherry, red plum and red berry flavours evolve on the palate. Notes of red currant, pomegranate, cranberry, earth and spice linger on the finish.
Winemaking
Pinot Noir grapes harvested from long-standing growers for Gray Monk within the northern and central Okanagan Valley. The Pinot Noir grapes underwent traditional red wine making, 10 months aging in 2 and 3-year-old French oak barrels for added complexity, and a full malolactic fermentation to soften the mouthfeel.
