Reviews and Ratings

Jane Staples - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

Love this 100% Merlot from B.C.'s Okanagan Valley! Crafted from hand-picked grapes that give optimal fruit expression. Yummy notes of ripe blackberries, blueberry pie and slight sweet spice make this a true delight with roast pork and fall vegetables. Satiny smooth and good to the last drop! You can enjoy this wine now or cellar for up to 5 years.
Tasted Sept. 2019
Largely neutral oak to provide a transparent look into the nature of the grape in that season. Combination of Merlot clones 347 and 181 from our estate vineyard.

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
