9.1

Medium deep ruby core with quite thin ruby garnet rim . Quite serious but elegant with red plum , blueberry , dark cherry , with some black pepper and iris , pomegranate tea . On the palate this is quite reserved with fresh , blue fruit , blueberry , blackberry , pomegranate, some granite hints also. Fresh acidity , and fine but grippy tannins, quite intense and vibrant. Pretty reasonable length , with granite , blueberry and herbal tea finish , refreshingly balanced alcohol (though at 12,5% you would hope so.. ), a touch pinched with a hint of bitterness , though I would imagine this will integrate with time and doesn’t detract from the style which is elegant , quite lithe and linear . Young still and the structure does stick out a bit , so I would leave this for a couple more years , and it will likely improve over the next 5 or so , and last well a further 5-10. — 12 days ago

The grapes for this wine are off a plot on Naramata Main Road. We spotted the sign while visiting Deep Roots. Outstanding wine all around. Bold flavours with citrus, toasty, oakiness and spices. Smooth buttery palate with balanced acidity. Tasted it while visiting and the two owners were pouring. We were very happy to pick up a couple of bottles. — 7 years ago

Delightful, fresh & juicy.
Green melon, white peach & pear. Crisp, enticing.
Quite light on the palate, very juicy with melon and yellow stone fruit. Lovely purity & quality of fruit. Plus a nice long finish with a salty note at the end.
At 12% alc, this is made for sipping but also holds its ground with a salad or grilled fish. A lovely wine. — 5 months ago

Very young on nose (and needed aeration!). There’s plenty of bright red fruit, licorice and orange and before aeration I also found green apple, yoghurt (MLF?!) as well as a whiff of stable.
Once properly presented; the wine gave off more precise fruits such as cherries, red currants, figs and herbs.
Wine is dry, light and crisp with soft, pleasing tannins. The flavors are deep and finish quite long with some salinity, both things not as expected from the straightforward, young aromas.
Still young. I would really want to try it again in 6-8 years time to see the layering of all the aromas. This wine opened up my eyes for the potential of cinsault!
