SpearHead Winery 2017 Coyote Vineyard Pinot Noir - 88pts

SpearHead Winery 2017 Coyote Vineyard Pinot Noir (West Kelowna) Okanagan Valley - BC

Availability: Direct from winery here
Cost: $33 + taxes
Alcohol: 14%
Production: 200 cases
Date Tasted: May 16th, 2019

Tasting Notes: Another single-vineyard Pinot from SpearHead, this one from a site in West Kelowna planted to just one clone (115) and producing the most fruit-forward and lively Pinot of the portfolio. Savoury elements are more restricted to the oak-influence variety (spices, vanilla and oak notes themselves) with some mineral-y characters coming from the terroir. Well produced, as are all of SpearHead's Pinot, under the direction of former Quails' Gate winemaker Grant Stanley.

 For a treat, order each of the winery's 5 distinct Pinot Noirs and open them all for your Pinot-loving friends and compare notes and scores. Everyone will have their favourite... will they line-up with our results?
