Energetic, juicy, innocent and to the point without excess in technique or artistry.

Starts quite strong, acidic. But finishes very light and pleasant. Nice aftertaste if you can wait that long and give it a try.

Easy drinking, did have a bit of sulfur that didn’t totally blow off. Some sediment at the bottom. Medium tannin, med acid, some red fruit and lots of spice. Lacking in big flavor.

Spicy, bold but not too much alcohol. This will age very well.

Another great reminder of the beauty of the Okanagan Valley. A hint of tannins and acidity. Earthy with a touch of black currant at the finish. The sweetness of the black currant is more dominant in the nose.

This wine is awkward. At first, the wine is tannic. Not a good first sip-- at all. But after a while, there is a smooth finish. BC? And all this time I thought they only had good bud.

Love this wine, hard to come by in LA so glad I ran into it in Seattle. 2012 needs a bit more time ... Takes some to open up and render its acidity ... but all the pieces are their for something exceptional at the price point.
