Availability: Direct from winery here
Cost: $33
Alcohol: 14%
Date Tasted: February 28th, 2019
Tasting Notes: Sourced from a single block of Pinot Noir vines (4 different Dijon clones) in the winery's home vineyard in south east Kelowna. The Saddle Block has been part of SpearHead's portfolio for years and offers distinctive characteristics from the winery's other Pinots, yet, an overall 'femininity' is uber-present and welcomed.
Classic red fruit and cedar notes are wrapped in a blanket of cola, spice and gentle floral aromas on the expressive nose. A similar mix of flavours follow on the lip-smacking, huckleberry-kissed palate where a touch of RS and glycerol enhances the body and a friendly wave of spice flows through to the tangy, moderate-plus finish. Light tannins are ready to go now. Drink 2019-2022.
