Tasting Notes: Rich, fruity and smooth! This wine is crafted entirely from grapes sourced from our Hidden Valley vineyard on the Naramata Bench. The wine is full-bodied and shows classic cool-climate characteristics such as blackberry and lavender with a hint of spiciness. Food Pairings: Perfect for braised meats or hearty stews.

March/April 2010
“Some of the most interesting wine produced in British Columbia is now coming out of the Naramata Bench just outside of Penticton. This is cool climate syrah at its best! Juicy and smoothly textured with blackberry, wild herb, and mineral flavours. It is drinking beautifully right now, but will continue to do so for many years to come.” Winemaking: Highly macerated before fermentation to allow full extraction of rich colour and tannins. This wine was aged in both French and American oak for 9 months before filtering and bottling. Aging Potential: Good acidity and tannin structure will allow this wine to age 4-5 years. Very drinkable now. Date Bottled: August 2007 # Cases Produced: 1000 Price Per Bottle: $25.99
