Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaVig (for vigneron) is Roche's collection of wines celebrating Canadian artists. Penelope and Dylan present the wine, and the artist creates a label based on their tasting. For this wine Sarah Neely is expressing her experience with clone 115 Pinot Noir, organically grown on the Naramata Bench, and aged in neutral French oak. Ample toasted cedar lashes at this medium+ bodied red, with plush black cherry, red currant compote and an earthy tomato leaf edge. Tannins are furry, and acidity is tart, welcoming a tomato sauced hearty dish.Tasted: 19 December 2022Tasted by: Prices:
Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaPenelope and Dylan Roche, owners of Naramata-based Roche wines, have launched a collection of labels tagged Vig (that’s short for vigneron or winegrower), which collaborates with renowned Canadian artists known for their bold style. The Roches asked them to create a label that illustrates their sensory experiences when tasting the wine. In this case, artist Sarah Neely’s colourful label takes on the clone 115 pinot noir with earthy raspberry/tomato and an earthy undercurrent. The savoury fruit is organically farmed, hand picked, and aged in neutral French oak. I like it with fresh goat cheese.Tasted: 29 October 2022Tasted by: Prices:
