Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaFrom their estate in Okanagan Falls, this is a 70/30 chardonnay/pinot noir blend, whole cluster pressed, and with 28 months on the lees. Showing nice development on the palate, with a creamy bed of lees, citrus, green apple, and anise. Nice bright acidity counters the richness on the palate, dosed with a mere 2 g/L. Youthful, but highly approachable now, especially with food.Tasted: 11 July 2019Tasted by: Prices: BC 47.90 winery direct, private wine shops

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe 2014 grabbed our attention and the 2015 is similarly solid. The Okanagan Falls bubble is a 70/30 mix of chardonnay and pinot noir that opens with a whiff of lees and smoke before a salty, citrus, green apple, stony profile takes over. The acid is showy and the fizz well managed. It lacks that creamy palate finish but I’m sure with age and/or a few more vintages this will come. It’s all pressed whole cluster and aged 28 months on the lees, and at only 2.0 g/l RS, significantly drier than the 2014. This could use two more years in the bottle to really settle into its final form.Tasted: 03 November 2018Tasted by: Prices: BC 47.90 winery direct, private wine shops
