Painted Rock Red Icon 2022
Skaha Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe near-perfect 2022 growing season in BC gave Painted Rock's flagship Red Icon a chance to shine. Estate grown fruit from the mature Skaha Bench vineyard is blended in a 49/16/12/11/9/3 formation of merlot, cabernet sauvignon, malbec, syrah, petit verdot, and cabernet franc. The wine is all texture and richness, with seamless savoury oak carrying blackcurrant and dried herbs across the palate. A major step up from the climate-challenged 2021, it reinforces the wisdom of releasing a flagship only in standout years. Bordeaux-inspired yet firmly rooted in Skaha, this is a very fine bottle of BC red wine.Tasted: 21 May 2026Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $79.99 | 750ml | BCLS, private liquor stores, winery direct |
