Keremeos, Similkameen Valley, British Columbia, CanadaA blend of 90 percent sauvignon blanc and 10 percent sémillion, this is from the cool 2010 vintage. It shows a fair bit of malolactic character on the nose (think yogurt) with pink grapefruit and nougat. At nearly ten years of age, it strikes a nice balance between fresh fruit and aged tertiary notes. It may not have the complexity of the 2006 vintage, but the palate is pure and precise, with a pithy grapefruit rind finish. I found it became more evolved with time in the glass, so I would suggest to drink this vintage in the short term if you're looking to retain some youthful fruit character. 525 cases produced.Tasted: 05 October 2019Tasted by: Prices:
Keremeos, Similkameen Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe 2010 represents another evolution in the short history of this sauvignon blanc with a five percent dash of sémillon. The nose is fresh but round with grassy, grapefruit, passion fruit notes easily expressed by the use of neutral oak. The attack is similar with fresh restrained almost austere notes of lemon, grapefruit, grass and nettle with mineral overtones. A terrific food wine from the underrated Similkameen Valley.Tasted: 16 April 2012Tasted by: Prices:
