Sandhill Winery Pinot Blanc 2011

Katherine scored this wine: 91/100

I love this wine! It's fruity on the nose and you can certainly smell the pineapple. On the palette it is clean and fresh with a full mouth-feel. Fairly rich and super full of flavour. Full blog post at: http://winenotbc.com/2014/03/28/sandhill-pinot-blanc/

Katherine reviewed this wine:

Appearance: Cherry red, light-medium bodied Nose: Lots of fruit flavour, sweet like jello. Palette: Tannic and earthy, I can practically taste the tree roots. On Earth day today, I went with this unique representation of how wine is intricately related to the earth, the soil, the root vines. The bottle mentions cocoa flavours but I only picked this flavour up when paired with a chocolate chip cookie - a delicious pairing I might add!

Memorable Wine

Bouchard Aine & Fils Pinot Noir (2011) - We served this wine at our wedding and had about 20 bottles leftover - it's definitely hard to forget a wine like that!

First Wine

This is hard to say as it was such a long time ago. Since my first glass would have been with my mom, my best guess would be a Jackson Triggs Merlot, a staple in her home.

Unusual Wine Experience

Recently I drank a Monteith's "Pinot Gris Lager" in New Zealand (a sparkling Lager blended with Marlborough Pinot Gris). That was definitely a pleasantly unusual wine experience.

Current Fav Wine

Sandhill Pinot Blanc (2011) - This was a gift from my WineNotBC partner, Tiffany! Sometimes the best wines are ones that friends pick out for you.
