He says: This is an intense wine, showing depth and balance beyond any Viognier I’ve ever had. Definitely a 5-star wine, and something that any curious wine lover needs to experience. She says: This is one of the those wines that I will be talking about for years to come. 
He says: On the palate, the key for me is the red fruit doesn’t come out swinging, and there’s a beautiful balance of citrus notes without being tart. She says: An easy drinking, summer sipper, although it may be a little too simple for some. 
He says: This would be better served marketed as a Beaujolais/Pinot Noir blend to be drunk at room temperature rather than chilled. She says: For those of you that loved cherry-flavoured cough syrup growing up, this is the wine for you. It’s definitely not for me. 
We attended a tasting last month where the highlight of the night was a 7-year vertical of one of BC’s most celebrated red blends: Osoyoos Larose’s Le Grand Vin. Unfortunately, the tasting ended up being an anti-climactic car wreck of unbalanced wines that left us regretting the roughly $350 worth of wine on the table before us. 
He says: Lots of earth and barnyard to keep the funky drinkers happy. She says: The aromas on this wine were almost overwhelming to start. 
He says: I found the wine to be pretty tame compared to most examples of Cabernet Franc that we drink, and lacking in varietal character. She says: An interesting wine but far from mind blowing. 
He says: We’re always wary of hype, but happy to find it justified in this case. She says: Easy drinking, with a pleasant finish that is perfect for summer. |
