Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaFrom fruit off both the east and west bench vineyards, this was fermented in stainless before 30 months in neutral French and European oak. Tart and herbal blackberry, black plum, and walnut is sharpened with a cassis acidity, and framed with ample sticky tannins through a cedar finish. A bit on the rustic side, though I appreciate the use of neutral wood here for a more authentic view.Tasted: 15 February 2026Tasted by: Prices:

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe latest Vasanti Cab comes off a mix of cool west benches and warm east benches in the south Okanagan. This is a clean cabernet fermented in stainless steel and aged for 30 days in a mix of French and European oak. The palate is fresh and spicy, with a strong, cassis undertone and spice in the finish. For the moment, it needs some time or a grilled piece of protein to knock down some of the edges on this youthful red. It's a solid vintage, and the wine should age into the early 2030s. All this needs is a little more charm to get to the next level.Tasted: 08 November 2025Tasted by: Prices:
