Wine review: 1 Mill Road Rosé 2022

Ottawa, ON

June 2023

Matt’s review:

Experience the latest 100% Pinot Noir Rosé from the emerging East Kelowna Slopes Sub-GI with 1 Mill Road’s inaugural vintage 2022 Rosé. It offers a sneak peek into what 1 Mill Road excels at, in particular their Home Block Pinot, which shows great potential to be an outstanding single vineyard Okanagan Cru.

This impressive Rosé boasts an elegant copper color, exuding sophistication even before you take your first sip. The nose reveals delightful notes of tiny wild field strawberries, cherry, and herbs, creating a complex and inviting bouquet. On the palate, you’ll discover the distinctive flint minerality that adds texture and depth to its overall character. This first vintage Rosé is a standout, perfectly suited for savoring throughout the summer and fall alongside a wide range of dishes. Tasted May 2023. 92 points.
