The low vigour, sandy soils of a single block in Vista’s Edge Vineyard on the Black Sage Bench provide intense fruit and aniseed flavours from a site tucked into the foothills of the Okanagan Highland.
Tasting Notes
The nose opens with bright blackberry and succulent raspberry, lifted by a soft perfume of violet petals. The palate broadens with each sip, showing an expansive, integrated profile where delicate oak and savoury spice mingle with sagebrush and rich cocoa. Silky, delicate tannins and bright acidity carry the wine to a refined, lingering finish.
