Laughing Stock Vineyards Portfolio 2005

Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaLike many Okanagan reds, it is usually the latest edition that is the best and that's certainly the case with the Portfolio 2005, easily the best we've tasted from winemaker David Enns. Burdened early on with the goofy 'cult wine' tag, Portfolio is beginning to spread its wings, shedding some of those green notes and dry tannins for a slightly more expansive palate of ripe cassis and black fruits and better oak integration. A solid effort and getting better each time out.Tasted: 18 September 2007Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
