Rich, sweet, jammy nose leads to lots of residual sugar, stewed fruit and spice on the palate. Too sweet but a red for spicy food perhaps -- Wineshout.com

I have no idea what to do with this food pairing wise, and I'm not going to sit here and say this is some sort of uncovered treasure in Naramata, but it's a unique-ish wine and one worth exploring. It always seems we're arriving at the Lang tasting room out of breath at exactly 5:30pm as the last employee is trying to get out of there for the day being that their tasting room stays open a half hour later than most places. It's that anticipation of the final tasting of the day that makes this wine even more special. It's not like others on the bench. It's sweet. It's California Raisin-y. Probably more chocolate-covered than Amarone though with all that sweetness. Rather than looking for a pairing, this one shines best at the end of a sunny day paired with nothing and no one. It's not bad... It's unique.

A bold red, thick mouthfeel. Fruit forward nose with blueberries sweet on the first sip but flabby in the middle with a soft finish.

To keep my soul alright, it keeps me up high above.
Yes, me got the reason to come, question your love.

Instant classic. Slightly sweet and slightly berry. Tricking down my heartstrings.

Our first Canadian wine was pretty impressive! Very complex, slightly sweet, full bodied and very aromatic - probably one of the most aromatic wines I have tried. Highly recommended!

This is my new favorite Red! It has jumped in front of the Hillside Cab Franc. #BuyLocal
