Description
Burrowing Owl, wisely, has been a leader in solar energy in BC's wine scene for the past 12 years. Their Pinot is a popular choice among Vintages customers, who appreciate its forward cherry and berry fruit, approachable texture and impressive balance. Savour this wine with grilled turkey or duck in a reduction of blackberry, red wine and herbs.

Tasting Notes
Though warm and ripe as ever there's more to the 2018 Burrowing Owl pinot noir then meets the mouth. In the southern reaches of the Okanagan's northern Sonoran dessert clime it has pretty much become a fait accompli to get the maxim out of the grape and so what this '18 adds in terms of accent, savour and tension makes sugars and phenolics sing. Dark red berry and deeply fortifying distilled herbals all work in cohorts with what moves, thrills and shakes. This will get into the fun zone at three or fours years when a little bit of umami peaks through. Varietal purists, lovers and cognizant scholars will all take a spin with these outbursts of fruit, grip and flavour. Drink 2020-2025. Score - 91. (Michael Godel, winealign.com, Nov. 7, 2020)
