Mission Hill Five Vineyards Rosé 2015

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaDeep, medium pink in hue, this is a juicy, medium bodied rosé, consistent and popular year after year. Punchy strawberry jam, pear, yellow apple and watermelon is kissed with sweetness, punctuated with a light pink peppercorn spice. Thirst quenching if chilled and food friendly. The fruit is Oliver and Osoyoos based and while the ripeness is evident the acidity does a fine job of keeping it all fresh. A little drier and a little less colour would heighten out interest but not perhaps the mainstream.Tasted: 27 August 2016Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Treve RingPrices:
