Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaRetasted one year along. This comes off their Naramata's organic Kozier Vineyard, planted in 2007. This was whole bunch was pressed, fermented (no MLF) and rested in neutral oak barrels for 10 months. Rich and creamy on the palate, with toasty spices seasoning ripe pear, white peach, shaved coconut, and musk perfume. Quite a heady, weighted style, ready to take on butter drawn halibut and/or creamy chanterelle risotto.Tasted: 02 November 2022Tasted by: Prices:
