Keremeos, Similkameen Valley, British Columbia, CanadaA new release under the Winemaker Series label that blends 63 percent malbec with cabernet sauvignon and cabernet franc, all out of the Similkameen Valley. The initial attack is intense with a slurry of black and blue fruits redolent of blackberries, blueberries, and brown baking spices. The tannins are youthful after 15 months in French oak. No rush here; this needs time to settle in and find its mojo. That said, it should be well-received and will age effortlessly through 2022.Tasted: 13 September 2019Tasted by: Prices:
Keremeos, Similkameen Valley, British Columbia, CanadaExpression is a new small-lot malbec, cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc blend, sourced from the Similkameen Valley. Potent and intense, thick with ripe blueberries, blackberry jam, dusky plums, perfumed violets, and heaps of baking spices coating the palate. Tannins are lined with fresh hewn, sanded wood spicing. After harvesting and fermenting each vineyard block separately, this was blended and aged in French oak for 15 months before bottling unfined. Very young still, and showing it, this needs some time to settle and mellow, or a giant thick rib eye now.Tasted: 11 September 2019Tasted by: Prices:
