Tantalus Rosé 2018
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaTantalus' 2018 Rosé is a 50/50 mix of young vine pinot noir complemented by older pinot meunier, the latter planted on the home site in 1985. Although smoke haze was a worry, Tantalus thankfully escaped its effect on the wines and enjoyed a slightly cooler environment that in the end slowed the ripening phase and prevented the sugars from jumping up too quickly in the summer. The result is a juicy, vibrant watermelon and rose petal affair flecked with rhubarb and notes of wild strawberry. The finish is dry and palate cleansing, a la Tavel. Grilled salmon or native mushroom dishes seem appropriate.Tasted: 02 May 2019Tasted by: Prices:| BC | $19.09 | 750ml | winery direct, private wine shops |
