Stoneboat Pinot House Rock Opera 2014
Oliver, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaExpect a deep colour with wild, smoked earth and dark fruit aromas and flavours. The attack is plums and chocolate with smoky, earthy wild fruit aromas and plummy, spicy vanilla undertones. The pinotage undergoes a five-day cold soak before select yeasts set off a quick, warm fermentation. The fruit is pressed directly to barrel and spends 14 months in oak. A round, soft, funky oaky red suited to pulled pork dishes and even dark chocolate flavours.Tasted: 20 November 2017Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $24.90 | 750ml | winery direct, private wine shops |
