Spearhead Pinot Noir 2022
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaIn 2022, winemaker Grant Stanley combined fruit from East Kelowna and Summerland to create a designated Okanagan Valley pinot noir. The style is fresh, the nose a mix of red berries, the palate more of the same with some plums and spice and just a hint of sour cherry in the finish for complexity. Easy sipping this slides down effortlessly. It is a mix of Dijon clones 115, 777, and 667, all hand-harvested, destemmed, and cold soaked for 5-7 days before an indigenous yeast fermentation. It spent 13 months in French oak barrels, of which only 25% were new. This is a fun wine for light pizzas, salmon sushi, or duck paté.Tasted: 04 October 2024Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $36.00 | 750ml | winery direct, select private wine shops and restaurant |
