RKS 2024 Wine: Featherstone 2023 Rosé from Niagara Peninsula

Posted byRobert K Stephen (CSW)Posted inFood, WineTags:, , , ,

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.

Cellarbility: Will hold nicely to 2025-year end.

Price: $17 CDN (Ontario).

RKS 2024 Wine Rating: 93/100.

(Featherstone 2023 Rosé, VQA Niagara Peninsula, Featherstone Estate Winery, Vineland, Ontario, 750 mL, 13%).
