Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
Cherry nibs and flint on the nose. Red cranberry and cherry dominates on the palate with silky soft tannins.
Vineyard Notes
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 3.6 cm.
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.

A beautiful delicate wine that's dry, flavourful with a beautiful pepper finish. This is definitely one of my favorites. I've done plenty of wine touring this year and this Pinot is still my top 10.

I fell in love with this Pinot Noir over a decade ago, and it has remained my ultimate favourite ever since. Its delicate elegance and exquisite notes of cherry and earthy undertones make every sip a true masterpiece. I cannot recommend it enough—whether paired with a perfectly cooked fillet mignon, mushroom risotto, or savoured on its own, this Pinot Noir will captivate your senses. From its enchanting aroma to its vibrant colour and unforgettable taste, it is the perfect choice in a glass.

This is my favourite wine of all time. It pairs perfect with a chilly winter evening in front of a fire with friends.

This is my go to! After the wine tasting I had to get a glass of it and bought a bottle! Incredible Pinot Noir! Good on its own or paired well with everything so far

I served 40 Knots Pinot Noir at a Christmas party, and it was a hit with everyone, from wine enthusiasts to "wine dummies" :) The wine is silky smooth, with velvety tannins and loads of flavour. And this Pinot is sooo food-friendly! It paired beautifully with our roasted beef, turkey with cranberry sauce, and vegetarian dishes like mushroom medley. Impressed all around!
