A lovely BC Pinot Noir with aromas of cherry, earth and smoke. Some faint herbal notes add a pleasant bite. Medium-bodied and smooth. Racy acidity for veal or roast chicken. This wine is organic.

On the nose: A typical Pinot, with red fruit, mushroom, forest floor, leather, and black tea.

Naste of raspberry, cherry, vanilla, spice, tea

Mid acid, mid tannin, mid finish with tea and vanilla.

Pair with a salad

Andrew Bernardo rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

Beautiful plum, black cherry, currant, cranberry, mushroom, beetroot and orange peel. There's alderwood here, with black tea and smoke notes. A lot going on, and absolutely gorgeous pairing with wild salmon. 91 Points.

Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Yum! A great option for Thanksgiving dinner. Aromas of raspberry, cranberry, tart cherry, with some herbaceous and slightly floral hints, and a touch of black pepper and smoke. Medium bodied with some slight tannins, and medium+ acidity, a nice balance of tart and ripe fruit, warm spice and smoky notes on the palate and a peppery finish. Enjoy with a turkey dinner with all the sides, or grilled pork or salmon.

Melanie Lloyd - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

On the nose, this Organic Pinot Noir has jammy strawberry aromas as well as cranberry, red plum, sour cherry, floral notes, and a touch of cocoa, vanilla, and cedar. On the palate, there is strawberry, raspberry, red plum, and sour cherry flavours. It is light bodied with smooth tannins. It is wonderfully tart and tangy with a spicy white pepper finish. The flavours linger on the palate.

Food-Wine Pairing: I would enjoy this wine with a cheese and charcuterie board.

Tasted September 2018

Colin McKone - Sommelier rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Ruby in colour with aromas of black cherry, plum, leather and raspberry. It is medium bodied with low tannins and medium acidity. It has flavours of tart cherry and black pepper leading into a nice medium length finish. This will pair well with salmon or chicken dishes. Tasted on September 16, 2018.

Greg Hughes rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Gushy new-world Pinot Noir from Summerhill. It seems like it really spent a long time in neutral oak (18 months). No filtration, so it has all of its natural charm.
Translucent ruby-red, with a tiny orange reflex. Open and smooth. Light to medium bodied.
Lovely cherry, cranberry and earth on the palate. Crisp acidity. Fresh and easy to enjoy.
Pair this with some yakitori and roasted zucchini.

Christian Marcoux rated this wine as 86/100 with the following review:

Summerhill Pyramid Winery, located in the renown Okanagan valley in British Columbia, offers a lovely raspberry colored Organic Pinot Noir. Harvested in 2016, this Vegan wine shows aromas of raspberry, rose, hay and sandalwood. Light-bodied with a medium and green finish, this Pinot Noir reveals tart cherry, lavender, fresh herbs, tar and liquorice. Enjoy.
