Spearhead Winery White Pinot Noir 2017
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaA white pinot noir? Yup, made by gentle whole bunch pressing and very minimal time on the skins. The juice was cold settled and fermented to dryness in stainless, where it sat before bottling. This is filled with sharp flintiness due to the reductive environment, though here it comes across as a bitter, almost ashen note that overwhelms the fruit. Underneath you get a sense of some subtle pear, melon and yellow apple on a glycerol-lined palate, finishing with salts, and a flush of warmth. Interesting attempt, but less so on result.Tasted: 19 June 2018Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $24.00 | 750ml | winery direct |
