2003 Osoyoos Larose Merlot Blend, #Okanagan Valley, #BCwine, #Canada. A tasting of great #Bordeaux always needs a good North American wine to round out the mix. An intoxicating nose of black cherry, plum and cassis with notes of desert safe dancing about the palate. Firm & refined with long , lush finish. #wine #sommelier #osoyoos — 12 years ago
#bcwine #okanagan #nomnom 2012 Tyler Harlton #PinotNoir, Okanagan, BC. Seriously one of the BEST Pinots I've had here. Bright and floral with violet petal, tart cherry intertwined with rosehip, forest floor, desert sage and vanilla spice. Soft and silky texture. A real stunner. #wine #sommelier #canada — 12 years ago
#bcwine #okanagan 2011 Siren's Call Syrah, Okanagan, BC. Fresh style with violet petal, black cherry, plum and hints is smoke and earth. Quite easy drinking with a silky texture and 12% alc to boot. Id drink it again. #wine #sommelier — 12 years ago

2011 Gray Monk #Auxerrois, #Okanagan, BC. Bright, grapefruit peel, Granny Smith Apple, Anjou pear, hint of ginger spice. Soft and round texture. The perfect spring sipper. #wine #sommelier #canada — 12 years ago
#bcwine #okanagan #nomnom 2012 Terravista 'Fandango' Albariño/Verdejo, Okanagan, BC. A stunning example of Spanish varieties outside of #spain. Bright with notes of pear, banana, peach and lemongrass. Racy acid on the finish. One of my favourite wines on this trek. #wine #sommelier #canada — 12 years ago
#bcwine #okanagan 2012 Black Cloud 'Fleuvage' #PinotNoir, Naramata Bench, BC. Nice to find a 12% alc wine here! Bright & Juicy with violet petal, tart cherry and citrus peel with a hint of spice. Almost Beaujolais style. A bit 1-dimensional but overall a good jug. Approx $25 CAD but based on style should be more in the $15 USD range. #wine #sommelier — 12 years ago
2012 50th Parallel Pinot Noir Rose, Okanagan Valley, BC. Vibrant. Strawberry skin, raspberry and orange peel notes with a hint of baking spice with medium acidity. OMFG delicious. Sadly it's my only bottle. #wine #pinot #rose #canada #okanagan #sommelier #britishcolumbia — 12 years ago

#bcwine #okanagan 2013 Hester Creek Trebbiano, Okanagan, BC. Ripe and lush with notes of Asian pear, white peach, pineapple and grapefruit peel. Soft and round; medium bodied. Shows how Trebbiano can create a lush wine in a desert climate from 40 yr old vines. #wine #sommelier — 12 years ago
#bcwine #okanagan 2011 Moon Curser 'Dead of Night' Syrah/Tannat. It's a monster. Intense black fruit intermingled with espresso, mocha and vanilla. Firm and velvety. Needs some time to integrate. Approx $38 CAD. #wine #sommelier — 12 years ago
