Black Hills Rosé 2017

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThis is year two for this rosé made from only pinot noir. It’s less sweet in 2017 but still a full-bodied style rosé on the red shade of electric pink. The attack is a mix of strawberry, raspberry, licorice with a light dusting of sagebrush and tomato leaf. The palate is soft and sweeter, a touch of glycerol permeating the cranberry, rhubarb, strawberry and a lick of candy apple on the finish. Best with seafood or chicken salads. We'd love to see them lower the ripeness, lessen the RS, up the acidity.Tasted: 01 June 2018Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Treve RingPrices:
