Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaI’m partial to this drier pink that comes with a subdued wild strawberry nose, and sweetness tempered by a note of rhubarb jam and perfumed raspberries. This is a blend of cabernet franc and cabernet sauvignon from the home estates in Keremeos and Cawston. The grapes were soaked for 20 hours on skins before a quick press and cool ferment. I love this understated Similkameen style that makes me think of fresh cheese, pork kabobs, chicken salads and more. Well done, again.Tasted: 04 August 2018Tasted by: Prices:
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaContinuing its strong streak, this year's rosé fills the glass with wild strawberries, rhubarb jam and perfumed raspberries. This is blend of purpose-picked cabernet franc and cabernet sauvignon from both their home estate as well as a nearby vineyard in Cawston. The grapes were soaked on skins for 20 hours, chilled on dry ice and then pressed for a cool fermentation in stainless to preserve this pure berry fruit. Threads of orange, cherry to the lingering finish. Well suited for pairing to a wide variety of dishes, and will easily work well into next year.Tasted: 30 June 2018Tasted by: Prices:
