Spearhead Pinot Noir Rosé 2017

South East Kelowna, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaA name dispute has seen Spierhead rebrand itself to Spearhead Winery moving forward. The 2017 rosé is all pinot noir from south-east Kelowna's Gentleman Farmer Vineyard and Vernon's The Rise Vineyard. The colour is mid-pink, the nose a minty, herbaceous candied fruit affair with bits of citrus, strawberry, watermelon, strawberry, pear and spice. The finish is soft and round suggesting it can take on spicy sushi, ribs, or as Treve has suggested, candied salmon. We would like to see a little more elegance and freshness from these cool fruit sources.Tasted: 01 June 2018Tasted by: Prices:
