Tasting Notes
Our 2021 Border Vines is a complex and appealing blend of six Bordeaux varieties - a rare sight in the Okanagan. It is a medium-full bodied red wine, medium-ruby in the glass. Aromas of plum, cinnamon, sour cherry and eucalyptus dominate the nose. The round tannins and smooth acidity combine to provide an excellent backdrop for the flavourful palate to shine. Cocoa powder, clove, dates and black pepper give this wine an incredibly approachable flavour profile, and the long finish leaves you wanting another sip. While this wine drinks incredibly now, it will reward those who are willing to cellar, peaking around 2033. Enjoy this wine with beef bourguignon, leg of lamb, roasted root vegetables, smoked sausage or Brie with jam.
