I'm detecting some smoke taint. Buyers have to be really careful with 2017 and 2018 Okanagan/Similkameen wines.
The smoke is less offensive the next day, and a chill helps in that regard. Texture/acid balance is great, and I wish the flaws weren't there because otherwise this is a nice, nutty, savory riesling.

Had this a few days ago. Much better than the equivalent chardonnay. Less cloudy, less natural tasting, with a mix of stonefruit and citrus right on the on a dry/offdry scale (B+).

We happily try small vineyards, but are souring on the natural, organic, biodynamic craze. This wine is nowhere near a Reisling. Poor aftertaste, etc.

Bone dry & quite forceful - with fairly liberal baked apple/pear, lemon & petrol aromas & nutty flavors.
It's medium-weight, originally fleshy then drawn together by stable acidity & a touch of minerality.
