Persistent, lovely, silky.
Spearhead sits high above Kelowna on a cool climate site well-suited to Riesling, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. I haven't had this wine since the 2019 vintage when it was made with a mix of Dijon and Pommard clones. This 2023 is all Dijon (115, 114, 943, 777) and is matured 13 months in French oak, 40% new.
An unfiltered Pinot with fragrant notes of forest berries and cherry pipe-tobacco, vanilla, dried violets and rainforest floor. The entry is silky, structure grows across the palate and it presents lovely fruit and spice flavours. Notable persistence here with hints of tealeaf on the finish.
