He says: This is a solid Pinot Noir, but would it be worth the $40-50 CAD it’d be priced at in BC? Probably not.
She says: For me, this was a disappointment, especially at the £20 price tag.

He says: Simple, boring, and a short finish. Damn, this sucked. She says: A most uninspiring wine not worthy of its $27 price tag. 
He says: …this wine had a much better structure, both acidic and tannic than the Pinot Noir from the same producer. She says: Life is too short to drink boring wine when there are so many interesting wines out there to explore! 
He says: Last year, this was impossible to find locally, but Marquis seems to have some stock of this year’s release. Buy now. Enjoy tomorrow. She says: What makes this Rosé special (other than its honeymoon status) is that it has a savoury quality that balances its fruit and floral elements. 
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. |
