Spearhead Pinot Noir Cuvée 2023

East Kelowna Slopes, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe Cuvée takes me to New Zealand with its earthy, forest floor, clove demeanour. The palate is a spicy affair of plums and cherries with a subtle earth and mushroom finish, again lined with spice. Rich and mouthfilling, this needs something like duck confit to contain its exuberance. The Cuvée combines several pinot noir clones from Summerland and East Kelowna in a 30/25/25/20 mix of 115/114/943/777 aged 13 months in 40% new French oak.Tasted: 13 April 2025Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
