Howling Bluff Summa Quies Rosé 2014
Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaStrawberry yogurt and raspberry rosemary jam opens this deeper hued rosé, the inaugural release from Howling Bluff. The herbed berry fruit continues on the juicy palate with a punch of salted plum, raspberry gummies and red currant. The residual sugar is an evident layer underneath the fruit, noticeable more (like the 14% alcohol) as it warms in the glass and appears as maraschino cherry. Chill and serve as a summer refresher.Tasted: 21 June 2015Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $25.00 | 750ml | winery direct; private wine shops |
