12/30/2022 - Galen McDonald Likes this wine: NRRuby red, opaque center. Dark berries, meat, savory herbs (bay leaf?), barely perceptible oak adds complexity, deep. Tart blackberries, olives, black pepper. Good mid-palate intensity, finishes on drying tannins. First Okanagan Valley Syrah I’ve tried, and it’s a good one. 13.7% ABV. |

11/11/2022 - Dwolfordwines Likes this wine: 90 pointsIn the glass, really deep ruby colour with lightening around the glass. Nose is medium + intensity with a really nice flavor profile. Olive, spice, red fruit. On the palate, medium tannins, medium + acidity, medium body and alcohol. Flavor of juicy plum and sweet spice. Good length. |

9/27/2022 - Dwolfordwines Likes this wine: 89 pointsRipe nose of cherry and spice with a faint earthy note. On the palate, comes off slightly hot, however balances out with the high acidity and long finish. Plum and spice on the palate. Interested to see how it develops in 2 years or so. Drink or hold. |

9/1/2022 - Dwolfordwines Likes this wine: 90 pointsWith some air (2 hours) became a really nice nose of plum, cherry, sweet spice.On the palate explosive flavours due with a massive amount of acidity, but nice tannins to balance. Finish was very good at this price point. Overall a very enjoyable wine. Less green ‘bell pepper’ like flavours than I would have expected from a Cabernet franc, which I preferred. Make sure you give the bottle air. Noticeable changes by the second hour for the positive. The sour cherry flavours dissipated and the wine became much more balanced. Very enjoyable |

6/26/2022 - biggie Likes this wine: 89 pointsNose of strawberry and raspberry. Palate the same with some juicy acidity and no bitterness (I’ve had other Cab Franc roses that show some). Good by itself but also excellent with lighter entree. Didn’t notice the 14.5% ABV. |

Decanted for mini-ox 2h before serving. Purple; redcurrant, violets; tart red fruits, some tomato, lean at first; some persistence. Lean mouthfeel at first but evolved in 24h--better mouthfeel, more fruit. Another better BC wine that will need time to be at its best--glad to have more. My evaluation (see earlier posts for my 4-category, non-point rating system): This is notable+ when considering quality, age, and price in the BCLDB environment (high taxes, highly regulated and protected). |

2012 Bordertown Vineyards & Estate Winery MalbecOkanagan Valley more |
8/15/2019 - geoffjb Likes this wine: 87 pointsA family gathering featuring our good friend Malbec: This was our third wine of the night. After visiting Cahors, we took a detour through British Columbia, Canada. Although not typically known for Malbec, as Canadians we figured that the Okanagan needed to be represented. In the end, although it ranked 4th of 6 for the group, this Okanagan Malbec beat out both French Malbecs we tried. That said, it was also $8 and $12 more than the two French wines in our flight, so perhaps a pricier French Malbec would have fared better in our rankings. |
