Burrowing Owl Athene 2021
Oliver, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaAs judged at the 2024 WineAlign National Wine Awards, the number four red blend in the country, 2021 Athene dodged the wildfire smoke and the heat dome to deliver a sophisticated red full of silky black cherry, black plum, and rich, well-managed tannins. Another pleasant surprise is the upfront fresh florals and minerality that pokes through the finish. This is as sleek a red wine as we have seen from BOV, and played well with judges. It is a winner, and there will be no rush to drink it over the next decade. It will only improve over time in the bottle.Tasted: 08 July 2024Tasted by: Prices:| BC | $41.00 | 750ml | winery direct/online, restaurants |
