We all deserve R&R on a long weekend. On BC Day, my R&R was a bottle of Narrative Rosé 2022 and a bottle of free form Riesling 2022 by Okanagan Crush Pad. These two wines made for this hot sunny weather. Both are vegan-friendly wines and the Riesling is also listed as EcoCert organic certified. Let me tell you about them.
My Wine Tasting Notes Narrative Rosé 2022 (BC $23.99)
The grapes for this wine are not listed but are described as a Bordeaux blend, so I would guess Cabernet Franc, Merlot and maybe Malbec to a minor degree.
Appearance: A medium-intensity clear salmon colour in the glass.
Nose: Lighter aromas of red fruit, rhubarb and some grape stem toastiness. No change to the aromas after decanting.
Palate: This wine starts dry with a medium body. It has a round, thicker creamy texture. Medium acidity in this wine leaves a light prickle in your mouth. Medium-intensity sweet and tart red fruit, raspberries, light rhubarb and light grape stem bitterness. Medium-minus intensity tannins. The wine has a lighter mouthfeel and tastes a bit off-dry after decanting. I also picked up some stoniness on the palate.
Finish: A medium-plus length with an off-dry finish showing red fruit, rhubarb and some bitterness. No change to the finish after decanting.
Rating: A lighter-bodied slightly off-dry rosé wine with red fruit and rhubarb aromas and flavour and a creamy texture. Medium-plus length.
