Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaFrind Estate Winery is a new lakefront winery on the historic Bennett Property in West Kelowna. Markus Frind purchased the property in 2017 after he sold his company Plenty of Fish. With over 500 years of family farming history, Markus wanted to combine his two passions; technology and agriculture. He employed Erik von Krosigk, ex-of Summerhill, to make the wines. This youthful cabernet sauvignon is amazingly kept to 12.7%, though compact with dense dark cherry, cassis, and blackberry. The wood plays a welcome, integrated supporting role, while tannins are near negligible. Take this easy, youthful red with grilled sausages or burgers.Tasted: 20 October 2020Tasted by: Prices:

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaA bit old school but in a good way, this juicy straight up cabernet sauvignon comes in at a friendly 12.7 percent alcohol by volume. The nose and palate are a mix of pure Bing cherry dusted in oak and cedar. As youthful and fresh as it is, the tannins are negligible, meaning you can drink it now if you must. Think grilled sausages or hamburgers and enjoy the moment. A good start.Tasted: 17 October 2020Tasted by: Prices:

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaFrom Rock Pile Vineyard in Oliver, this is South Okanagan cabernet sauvignon through the lens of the relatively short 2019 growing season. It's not a blockbuster, but it's also not underripe either. Rather, it's a juicy style of cabernet sauvignon that's dark fruited and bolstered by dusty oak. It still manages to be linear and structured, but with an easiness common to Frind's 2019 Premier reds. If anything, the acidity may be a notch too tart, but it should do well at the dinner table at only 12.7% abv.Tasted: 17 November 2020Tasted by: Prices:
