Note de dégustation (anglais)

Deep garnet colour with an intriguing bouquet of black currant, violet, leather, vanilla, sweet oak and black licorice. A full-bodied wine with soft, drying tannins, moderate acidity and a terrific mouth-feel. Ripe fruit flavours of black currant, blackberry and blueberry are enhanced by notes of vanilla and sweet oak. Notes of tart black fruits and sweet spice linger on the finish.

The Italianate collection is based on grapes grown at the Sandhill state vineyard. Three naturally showcases three varieties: Sangiovese, Barbera and Merlot. Therefore, it is the Okanagan Valley's only 'Super-Tuscan.' Or, maybe we can start a trend: OKITAL! Very precise on the palate with hints of cherry and savoury notes, it builds on the Sangiovese grape with complexity and nuance. Only 9 barrels made.
