British Columbia, CanadaThe 2012 vintage is a blend of 92 percent sauvignon blanc and 8 percent semillon, with only 220 cases produced. It has a stunning Bordelais nose of wax, honey, guava, and grapefruit. It's surprisingly round and rich, given the modest 12.7% abv, but with a real sense of tension and precision. The concentration is above the norm, with noticeable dry extract, leading to a chalky finish. This is still remarkably youthful and only just beginning to show subtle tertiary notes. It should easily age for another 4-5 years. Fortunately Clos du Soleil has some bottles tucked away at their tasting room, which are available for purchase if you ask. Exceptional value.Tasted: 05 October 2019Tasted by: Prices:
British Columbia, CanadaQuiet grassy, passion fruit, nettle, floral, grapefruit rind nose with light, nutty, lees aromas. Fresh, creamy, juicy, elegant palate with a pink grapefruit, nettle, pea shoot, gooseberry, grassy, green apple flavours. Finish is crisp with a hint of lanolin and lees. Fine intensity with youth and complexity. This will improve in bottle through 2017. Shellfish is the match or white meats.Tasted: 02 June 2014Tasted by: Prices:
