This one's for those who've embraced the world of online wine shopping – or for those within driving range of Lillooet, the community on the Fraser River a couple of hours northeast of Vancouver. Fort Berens, the pioneering winery in a town that landed on the map with the Fraser Canyon Gold Rush, has been crafting impressive wines thanks in great measure to the locale's remarkably hot, dry summers. This mid-weight pinot is smartly rendered, showing ripe cherry-raspberry fruit infused with solid spice and the grape's telltale beetroot-earthy nuances. Easy-drinking yet layered pinot.
