Spearhead Jagged Ridge Pinot Noir 2024
Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaJagged Ridge Vineyard is a young plot of vines located in the Naramata Bench sub-GI, giving winemaker Grant Stanley another terroir to play with. The hand harvested Dijon clones 943 (61%) and 115 (39%) are fermented separately with native yeast. Post ferment, it spends 13 months in French oak barrels, 25% of which are new. It is a classically aromatic pinot with intense violets and dried herbs. The palate delivers more of the same, with black cherries, dark plums, and a wealth of spice and earthy forest floor. The texture is silky smooth, adding more to the story, and the finish is peppery and warm. Cedar planked salmon is my food match.Tasted: 13 April 2025Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $39.00 | 750ml | winery online/direct |
