Arrowleaf Rose 2016

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaArrowleaf Cellars would get my vote for one of the most underrated winery in British Columbia. Their location in Lake Country puts them just off the major traffic map but they are making a compelling case for northern Okanagan fruit. Case in point, this perfectly fresh, light pink rosé that blends 85/25 pinot noir / zweigelt grown in West Kelowna and Lake Country. The harvest of these grapes are specific to rosé: earlier and at higher acidity. The style is juicy, clean and floral with rich red fruit and mineral notes; think strawberries, grapefruit and cranberries. Despite some healthy acidity it finishes just off-dry with 8.5 grams of residual sugar. A warm patio is the best match all summer. Super value.Tasted: 01 June 2018Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
