Textbook CF with savoury red berries, toasted vanilla, oak spice, a light sprinkling of herbs and anise on the nose. Expressive on the palate with a range of brambly raspberry and cherry fruits, medium-plus tannins, licorice, campfire smoke, bay leaves and perky acidity through the finish.
Classic Syrah aromas of black pepper, violets, herbs/mint, smoke and blackcurrant. Mid-weight with fine-grained tannins and great length. Serve alongside lamb gyros or pepper crusted pork tenderloin.
This “village” Pinot has a gorgeous nose of perfumed and bright cherry fruit, raspberry bramble, subtle and integrated spice with underlying minerality. It’s bright and finessed on the palate with impeccable balance, evident tannins and pretty red fruits all carried on a long finish.
Made from a mono clone of Cabernet Franc vines which were planted in 1996. On the full end of the spectrum, this Franc delivers up a bouquet of raspberry, cassis, cherry, tobacco, sweet herbs and violets. There is a sweet core of fruit on the mid-palate and finale which echoes raspberry.
Crafted from some of the oldest vinifera vines in the Okanagan Valley, the grapes were planted over 50 years ago. It has such a beautiful nose of black currants, layered dark cherry, elegant oak stylings and complementing earthiness. Fine-grained tannins carry a range of dark and red fruits on the palate, all bolstered by earthy/savoury/meaty/spicy notes on a long, long finish.
The warmth of 2016 has created a fruit-driven, forward Pinot with cherry, plum, blackberry, violet, anise, red flowers and vanilla. Soft in the mouth with subdued tannins and a long aftertaste. Medium rare duck breast with a cherry glaze please!
Another super Stouck (vineyard) wine! This Meritage, which is Merlot dominant, doles out the chocolate, coffee, smoke, cassis, plum, cherry, herbs and baking spice. Full bodied with a concentrated palate and a great finish. Drink over the next 5 years.
