Clos du Soleil Estate Reserve White 2015
Similkameen Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThis year's estate reserve is distinct in that it is almost entirely sauvignon blanc, with four percent sémillon, all of which are sourced from two vineyards in Keremeos and amount to two barrels total. Native fermented and barrel fermented over a long, slow, seven weeks, this was then barrel aged on lees with occasional battonage for six months before being bottled unfined and unfiltered. Flax, meadow flowers, earthy lees bed Anjou pear, lemon curd, grapefruit pith fill this broad palate before bitter lemon tweaks the lengthy finish. This is seasoned with crushed stone throughout. Youthful and bright but with impressive complexity now, which will build with time. One of BC's more expensive whites, and a cellar worthy one.Tasted: 23 July 2018Tasted by: Prices:| BC | $59.90 | 750ml | winery direct |
