Bartier Bros. The Orchard Row 2020

Summerland Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaOrchard Row was the Bartier family house wine, and it’s easy to understand why when you taste it. Ripe, round, and slippery, this is an easy drinking red with a fresh juicy mid-palate that keeps you coming back to the glass for more. Winemaker Michael Bartier refers to it as a vin de soif, a thirst-quenching wine you can drink solo or with lighter weekday fare at the table. The 55/38/7 blend of pinot noir, cabernet franc, and merlot is packed with bright, floral, plummy, strawberry, raspberry that slides down effortlessly. This should be on a lot of restaurant lists.Tasted: 06 August 2022Tasted by: Prices:
