WineDiva's Review

Stylish, classic, consistent
Spearhead, (formerly Spierhead) in east Kelowna makes this single vineyard Pinot from the estate Gentleman Farmer Vineyard, which contains three Dijon clones (115, 777, 828); it was then aged in French oak.
It's a consistently delightful wine, and even in a warm 2016 vintage, the site provides balance. Red current and rhubarb aromas are layered with botanical, forest floor, beet greens and fine spice. It is silky and fresh upon entry; it has good bones but was still wound tightly when tasted. Give it some more time to relax and appreciate the tealeaf, red berry and leather finish.

Recommended Pairings
Eat your Root Veggies, Good First Impressions, First Date, French Food
