Okanagan Falls, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, Canada2019 is a blend of sites including the home McLean Creek Road vineyard in Okanagan Falls, Kaleden, Naramata, and as far north as East Kelowna. The method is saignée (or to bleed off tanks) after 12-24 hours of skin contact. Some of the fruit is barrel fermented, adding some weight and roundness to the final mouthfeel. Look for a full-flavoured cherry, berry pink that slides down effortlessly, Provençal-style. Best with friends and a warm patio all summer evening.Tasted: 31 May 2020Tasted by: Prices:
Okanagan Falls, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThis year's Pinot Noir Rosé comes from the estate McLean Creek Road vineyard in Okanagan Falls, as well as from vineyards in East Kelowna, Kaleden, and Naramata. This saignée pink had 12-24 hours with skins, was partial native fermented and then into a 50/50 split of barrels and stainless for aging 6 months on lees. That lees has certainly built up a plump cushion on the medium bodied palate, with fleshy cherry, raspberry, and red currants spiced with an herbal desert scrub mix. Quite Provençal in polish and form, with a bit more overt and inherent Okanagan fruit, this would suit a similarly stylish patio lunch or dinner this summer.Tasted: 29 May 2020Tasted by: Prices:
