Black Hills Bona Fide 2022
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe 2022 growing season started cool and extended into late flowering, and fruit set in the vineyard. The heat returned in July, and the fall was warm and dry, capping off a year that was good and plentiful in the vineyard as it turned out. The 2022 Bona Fide is a 42/33/25 mix of malbec, carmenere, and syrah. It is a combination that shouts drink me. This wine won big at the 2024 National Wine Awards, taking home a prized Platinum medal. The palate is a juicy affair of black and red fruits dusted in savoury south Okanagan scrub. You can drink or hold this wine; it is up to you. The wine is hand-harvested, bunch-sorted and wild fermented. It is aged primarily in concrete for ten months, a small portion in 2000L neutral oak foudres. There is immense value here, a testament to departed winemaker Ross Wise’s gentle touch.Tasted: 22 July 2024Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $35.99 | 750ml | winery online/direct, select private retailers, restaurants |
