Named for an old-growth Douglas fir sitting on the vineyard's edge, the Old Firs block wine is a thing of beauty. Crunchy sea salt aromatics give way to violets, crushed cranberries, juniper berries and pine bough. The palate is finely etched in red fruit and turned earth. Flavours of red berries mingle with crushed stone minerality, bay leaf, pine sap and clove.

Medium ruby, the 2019 Pinot Noir Coastlands Vineyard Old Firs Block has singular scents of conifer, wilted lilac, orange peel and crushed cranberries, with accents of lemon peel and black tea leaves. The palate offers ultra perfumed, delicately styled strawberry and raspberry fruits, a fine, dusty texture, seamless freshness and a long, spicy finish. It’s a delicate expression that will be great for earlier drinking.

The 2019 Pinot Noir Coastlands Old Firs is a blend of Martini and Wädenswil clones. Bright, sculpted fruit, salivating acids and citrus infuse the Old Firs with tons of vibrancy. Medium in body and classically austere, the 2019 will appeal most to readers who enjoy taut, nervy Pinots. It’s a gorgeous wine in every way.
