Tasting Notes: SpearHead's love affair with Pinot Noir (and expertise) has reached new levels with the release of their 2017 portfolio which sees a whopping 5 unique labels of the heartache grape (though, one of the five is exclusive to wine club members). From single vineyard offerings to specific blocks of grapes and select blends of Pinot clones. A pinotphile's dream.
This Cuvée bottling represents the winery's best barrels of its many Dijon clones blended with an eye on elegance and depth. Opening with a youthful, layered nose of creamy raspberry, forest floor, huckleberry and sweet, smoky, BBQ Salmon crackling aromas. A full, yet, lively, dry palate follows with a similar mix of sweet and savoury flavours; dark cherry, cocoa, light smoke, vanilla and a touch of spicy oak and amaretto liqueur on the long finish. Ready to go now and could evolve further in the cellar over the next 2-3 years. Drink 2019-2023.
