Oliver, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaFrom their Oliver estate Boulder Vineyard, this bright pink rosé has a soft, creamy underside that fails to energize its sweet ripe strawberry. It's easy to sip, but it's too flat to excite. The River Stone lineup is more mineral and juicy on average and that is where this wine needs to get to.Tasted: 19 April 2024Tasted by: Prices:

Oliver, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaFrom their Oliver estate, Boulder Vineyard, this deeply hued pink is their inaugural cabernet franc rosé. The grapes were cold soaked up to 48 hours before pressing and a cold fermentation in stainless, where they rested three months on lees. Ripe strawberry, pear, and pear skin rest atop a thick lactic base, kissed with smoke and subtle spice to a tart, snappy finish. Some work ahead here.Tasted: 16 May 2024Tasted by: Prices:
