  up front raspberry, some lemon, minerality (matchsticks), rather sour, like sour candy, a bit thin, alcohol balance not great

  6/12/2012 - Wamrod Does not like this wine: 81 Points

  Had some great wines in the Okanagan Valley this week but this was not one of them. Horribly green and acidic, with no body or substance. We tried to take more than a couple sips, but poured the glasses and the rest of the bottle down the sink.
  
  Nothing wrong with the winemaking, which was clean, but the fruit shoud not have been used until it was fully ripe.
  
  I've snagged two cases of BC wines to take home from this trip, so I'll be posting some notes on those later. But there were some nice wines on this trip - just not this one. In contrast, the Quails Gate Pinot I had last night was lovely.
