Well into his third decade as a South African making wine on the Naramata Bench, Garron Elmes works with estate vineyards for this deliciously fruity Pinot Noir that’s emblematic of the efforts by vineyard manager Pierre Levesque. Fresh blueberries and strawberry sauce follow up the early greeting of cola and baking spice. Herbal notes akin to bay leaf and Earl Grey tea lead to a complex, lengthy and substantial finish.
