Featherstone Rosé 2023

Description

Always excellent. Drinkable all year round straight up or with food. Time to try their 2023 vintage. A blend of Gamay, Cabernet Franc and Pinot Noir. Aroma: Fully ripe raspberry, strawberry and Thames River Farms sugar babe watermelon. This rosé is what you might call fruit expressive! Palate: Smooth with some raspiness on the back palate. Raspberry, cotton candy grapes and dragon fruit. Short finish with a little hot. Personality: I fall in line with many Ontario rosés in the sense that I am world quality. Food Match: Lightly creamed smoked salmon sauce over bucatini. Sublime with roast ham. Cellarability: Will hold nicely to 2025-year end. Score – 93. (Robert K.
