Rust Wine Co. Pinot Noir Rosé 2017

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaRust Wine Co. opened a year ago, taking over what was Rustico Farm and Cellars for their tasting room, and making small lot, single vineyard wines from Golden Mile, Okanagan Falls, South Cawston, and West Osoyoos. This is a deeply pink hued rosé of pinot noir, from West Kelowna's Mt. Boucherie Estate Vineyard. Planted in 1999 on clay loam with glacial till and volcanic scrub, this was raised in stainless. Glycerol lined palate of strawberry jam, orange, ripe raspberries, with a noticeable bump of RS and shaking of cinnamon spice on the finish. I hope to see the fruit more, and winemaking less in the future, but I look forward to tracking this project.Tasted: 03 October 2018Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
