See Ya Later Ranch
2006 Pinot Noir
VQA Okanagan Valley

Vinification
The vintage was very consistent and crop yields were low but fruit quality was excellent.
The cool harvest temperature slowed the accumulation of sugars and allowed us to hang the fruit longer and develop more varietal character.

Winemaking
Our Pinot Noir grapes were stainless steel fermented for 15 days with a 4 day cold soak during prefermention. This wine went through a full malolactic fermentation. The wine was barrel aged for 18 months in 100% French oak.


Aroma / Bouquet / Nose
One may notice an essence of strawberry, cherry and vanilla on the nose followed by overtones of bright, red fruit followed by undertones of a soft, round mouthful of vanilla.

Food and Wine Pairing
Deliciously accompanied by a Roast turkey and vegetables with herbed rice pilaf. Also a perfect combination with BC salmon poached in the wine complemented with a risotto. For a delectable treat, savour the wine with a selection of gouda, brie or havarti with antipasto.
