Meyer Family Vineyards Pinot Noir 2014, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia
€28 from Marks & Spencer
This is a seriously good Pinot Noir. Light and juicy with piquant dark cherries and plums, very good concentration and nice length. Refreshing, but it has some depth too.
I drank it with roast duck (also from M&S) with my own version of petits pois à la française. Delicious.
I told the story earlier this week about how I first heard of this wine through my former scout leader. I have heard a lot about (aboot?) Pinot Noir from British Columbia, but very rarely had the chance to try it. In style this wine has a certain similarity to Central Otago, but is a little lighter. Pricewise, it stacks up well against the competition from New Zealand, Burgundy, Germany and elsewhere in the New World too.

Meyer Family has been doing good things for a long time. Great winery. Fantastic people. Glad to see them getting some much deserved recognition.
Greetings from BC. Yes, we are very fortunate to make some great Pinot Noir here. Unfortunately, their availability is very limited outside of the province, but if you ever have the chance to visit you’ll find many. My favourite? Meyer Family Vineyards MacLean Creek Pinot Noir.
