Spearhead Pinot Noir Rosé 2017
South Kelowna Slopes, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaSpierhead is now Spearhead Winery, a slight spelling change to amend to how everyone has written them since the beginning. This year's rosé is again entirely pinot noir, sourced from South east Kelowna's Gentleman Farmer Vineyard as well as Vernon's The Rise Vineyard. Deeper peach in colour this is a full, glycerol-full rose, off-dry and mouth filling. Watermelon, strawberry jam, ripe pear and a warming finish of cinnamon spice fill this big wine, once that could take on candied salmon, or just sipped very well chilled this summer.Tasted: 01 June 2018Tasted by: Prices:BC | $21.00 | 750ml | winery direct, private wine stores |
