Vineyard Notes
Terroir - Salish Sea: Soils consisting of sandy gravelly marine over sandy gravelly morainal leading to schistic clay at 12-16' depths. Elevation sloping 3° seaward. Hot to moderate day temp, cooling at night from the ocean breeze. Very mild winters, seldom reaching below 0°C. Farming: VSP (Vertical Shoot Position): Spur. Sustainable farming methods. No herbicies. No pesticides. Limited irrigation. 2022 was off to a very slow start with unusually cool temperatures and higher precipitation but recovered by June bringing dry warm weather through to the end of October to allow high brix with zero disease. The average sunlight was between 14-16 hours during the growing period with an average monthly precipitation of 3.6cm.
Winemaker Notes
De-stemmed with no crush to fermenters. 2-3 punch downs daily until native fermentation. Inoculated 50% with D254. Punched down 2 times daily until the cap sank. Racked to terracotta amphora for aging.

I tried this wine while on the vineyard wine tasting..... I thought I was white wine drinker BUT this Pinot noir changed my mind. It is very smooth, flavorful and I enjoyed it so much I bought a bottle! Now it's my go to!

For the last 35 years I have been searching for a “Burgundy” that isn’t from Burgundy. All Burgundy is Pinot , all Pinot wishes it was Burgundy. If you don’t understand,, I’m sorry. Bam! The nose, the clarity, the lack of a fruit bomb palate , replaced with layer after layer of clean flavors. This could be a Burgundy. Drop dead gorgeous . And a good value at twice the price. In Comox, who’d ’ve thought.
