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.
