Rocky Creek Robin's Rosé 2017
Cowichan Valley, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, CanadaDeep, day-glo pink, this pinot noir pink is from 20+ year old estate vines. After one day of cold soak, this was fermented in stainless where it remained until the following spring. Off-dry and blocky, with smoke, cherry jam, and strawberries, this finishes abruptly, lingering with a candied cherry gel note. The back label states, amongst other things, this is "Manly but sophisticated". I tend to disagree with both adjectives.Tasted: 01 June 2018Tasted by: Prices:BC | $22.00 | 750ml | winery direct |
