Grenache Blanc 2022

Delightful, fresh & juicy.
Green melon, white peach & pear. Crisp, enticing.
Quite light on the palate, very juicy with melon and yellow stone fruit. Lovely purity & quality of fruit. Plus a nice long finish with a salty note at the end.
At 12% alc, this is made for sipping but also holds its ground with a salad or grilled fish. A lovely wine.

Tribute Series - Donovan Tildesley Old Main Road Vineyard Chardonnay 2016

The grapes for this wine are off a plot on Naramata Main Road. We spotted the sign while visiting Deep Roots. Outstanding wine all around. Bold flavours with citrus, toasty, oakiness and spices. Smooth buttery palate with balanced acidity. Tasted it while visiting and the two owners were pouring. We were very happy to pick up a couple of bottles. — 7 years ago

Meyer is great to visit but they sometimes sell out of some wines. We enjoyed Dreamweaver, Fairview, Deep Roots and Noble Ridge this year. Poplar Grove cheese was great too.

AVA Shiraz 2020

Medium deep ruby . Really aromatic on the nose , quite floral , violets , at first and then quite sweet raspberry , blackberry notes , touch of spice . On the palate fresher fruits , that mix of red and dark. Medium bodied , quite lean and taut on the palate , elegant . Good acidity , quite gritty tannins , that become more noticeable with time . Good length . This needs a bit of time , and will be better in 3-5 years , and last a further 5 -8 — 2 years ago

Coastal Region Cinsault 2017

Very young on nose (and needed aeration!). There’s plenty of bright red fruit, licorice and orange and before aeration I also found green apple, yoghurt (MLF?!) as well as a whiff of stable.
Once properly presented; the wine gave off more precise fruits such as cherries, red currants, figs and herbs.
Wine is dry, light and crisp with soft, pleasing tannins. The flavors are deep and finish quite long with some salinity, both things not as expected from the straightforward, young aromas.
Still young. I would really want to try it again in 6-8 years time to see the layering of all the aromas. This wine opened up my eyes for the potential of cinsault!
