Orofino Vineyard Watermark Syrah Petit Verdot Gamay 2015
Similkameen Valley, British Columbia, CanadaI’m never naturally drawn to house wine labels. If anything, I’m suspicious, but the Orofino – Watermark collaboration is a terrific partnership, and the latest red blend offering, a mix of syrah, petit verdot and gamay, is delicious. Winemaker and owner John Weber, together with the Watermark team, created a red wine that really hits the mark. It’s fragrant and inviting on the nose, yet rich in sweet black fruits, toast and smoke. The touch of gamay provides a bit of lift to the stony, mineral Similkameen Valley finish. The tannins melt away, beckoning you to finish the bottle. The wine spends 16 months in French oak before heading to bottle unfined and unfiltered. Well done.Tasted: 30 May 2018Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $34.00 | 750ml | winery direct |
