Fifty per cent of the juice was fermented with wild yeast to help harness a more complex flavour profile. Mission accomplished. It's medium-bodied and juicy, with ripe fruit fused with subtle oak and earthy-spicy notes behind integrated, slightly chewy tannins and bright acidity. The fruit-forward character is arguably more New World than French, but this excellent pinot shows smart balance and precision ripeness. Perfect for grilled salmon. Available at B.C. Liquor Stores and direct from the winery (cedarcreek.bc.ca); various prices in Alberta, $30.04 in Manitoba.
