Joie Farm 'PTG'

63% Pinot Noir/Pinot Nero & 37% Gamay

Vintage: 2008
Price: 38.99
Region: Okanagan
Country: Canada


PTG refers to "Passetoutgrain" the classic Gamay-Pinot Noir blended wine from Burgundy.  JoieFarm's version has ripe cherry aromas and flavours with a nice spiciness.  It is showing a little heavy on the oak, but that may settle with a little more time in the bottle.  A good match with roasted meat dishes.

Ripe, fresh and juicy, brimming with mineral-scented apricot and mango with a hint of savoury herbs and ginger spice, great backbone, lovely fresh sweetness, but with bright, bracing acidity on the intensely long, lively finish.  (GB - Tidings, April 2012)

Bright and refreshing, a zinger of a rosé with aromas and flavours of strawberries, cherries, citrus and dried herbs with great acid to balance the sweet ripe fruit, lightly grippy tannins, finishing with a creamy texture balanced with a pleasant zippiness.
