Blue Mountain 2019 Reserve Cuvee Pinot Noir 750ml
Dark in colour, this wine begins with aromas of spice and dark fruit, followed by layers of concentrated flavour. The finish is elegant with classic velvet tannins.

"In a significant evolution of its portfolio, Blue Mountain this month is releasing its first three single vineyard block Pinot Noirs. If this were Burgundy, those would be called Grand Cru wines. Blue Mountain, of course, is not using that designation. It is my way of signalling where the three wines fit at the top of the Blue Mountain portfolio.
These wines are being released simultaneously with Blue Mountain’s Estate Pinot Noir and Blue Mountain’s Reserve Cuvee. This is the first time that those two wines have been released at the same time. The reasoning is that consumers might not appreciate the differences among the wines if the release dates had been staggered.
Blue Mountain has been a leading Okanagan producer of Pinot Noir since releasing its first from the 1991 vintage."
