Carson 2020 Pinot Noir

2020 Pinot Noir

Carson

Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley | $50.90

Since 2008, winemaker Chris Carson has made some of the top Chardonnay and Pinot Noir in the Okanagan at Meyer Family Vineyards. The bar is no different at his eponymous label. The focus is entirely on Pinot Noir, sourced from Todd Road Vineyard on the Naramata Bench.

Tasting Note

A combination of Dijon clones 115 and 667, this shows a lovely balance of sweet dark cherry fruit accented by earth and a judicous touch of oak spice. It's juicy but still with a richness from the ripe fruit, showing a real suppleness and purity on the palate. Naramata Pinot Noir doesn't get much better than this.

Food Pairing

Vietnamese grilled pork or beet gnocchi
