Bouchard Finlayson : Galpin Peak Pinot Noir 2020

The 2020 Galpin Peak Pinot Noir presents a bright profile with nuances of tea and a soft herbaceousness. Medium to full-bodied and possessing a 14% alcohol content, it features hints of oak and a firm tannic edge, suggesting that the wine would benefit from an additional year or more of aging in the bottle. This Pinot Noir is structured and stands to gain depth over time, making it a good candidate for pairing with food.

Aromas of red cherry, sliced strawberry, chicory root and paprika. Medium-bodied with a silky texture and soft tannins. So much energy and life here, with very pretty red fruit standing at the center. Complex with a floral edge. Textural at the finish. Already so lovely, but will open up even more with time. Sustainable. Drink or hold.
