Pinot Noir

Okanagan Pinot Noir is shaped by warm days and cool nights, giving it bright acidity and balanced ripeness. Expect fruit ranging from tart red berries to darker, richer notes, often with a touch of earth—fresh, structured, and rarely overly oaked or sweet.

Flavor: Bright red berries (cranberry, cherry), sometimes darker fruit (plum), with subtle earth, fresh acidity, and a clean, balanced finish.
