Naramata Vineyard Pinot Noir 2020

On the nose, a faint cherry... On the palate, firm Italian plum, firm red cherry... Very bright up front... Above medium acidity... The finish is again felt primarily up front... Overall, not overly complex, but quite an appealing style. — 2 years ago

Van Westen Vineyards

Voluptuous Merlot Cabernet Franc 2016

Black currant here with maybe a powderier and softer structure than I remember in other vintages. That said, this is such a great wine year after year. If you enjoy it, try getting your hands on their Vulture which is 100% Cab Franc for a similar expression without the merlot to mellow it. — 4 years ago

Violeta Naramata Bench Malbec 2016

Blackberry, blueberry, and dirt. Honestly, this one doesn't pack massive pow, but it still holds interest. Quite savory and herbal really. — 5 years ago
