Tinhorn Creek Oldfield Reserve Rosé 2017
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaUpdated this vintage with a new name (Reserve), label (serious and stencilled) and ownership (Sandra Oldfield no longer has anything to do with the wine/ry that carries her name), this year's Rosé remains entirely cabernet franc (now 20 years old) from Diamondback Vineyard on the Black Sage Bench. Fuller, riper orange/raspberry hue, this opens and carries noticeable tobacco smoke throughout strawberry, orange, red apple and across a full, glycerol slicked, off-dry palate. Twelve hours skin contact, a slow press and time in stainless go into this. Cali styled, ripe and sun sweet, for those looking for that style.Tasted: 30 June 2018Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $21.99 | 750ml | winery direct |
