Monte Creek Winery

Red cherry, rose petal, forest floor, leaf litter and vanilla appear with fine, rounded tannins and lively acidity. Dried herbs and white pepper are also present. Pinot Noir fruit comes from Keremeos, Lion's Head and Monte Creek vineyards. The wine spends ten months in French-oak barriques, and fifteen percent of the barrels are new. Alcohol is 13 percent.
