A living piece of BC w**e history. π·
Baco Noir was planted across the Okanagan in the 1970s for its hardiness, then pulled out almost everywhere in the late '80s to make room for European varieties. Our neighbour Elmer Eidse kept his. Those old vines are still standing, still farmed organically, and still making this w**e.
Full-bodied, with ripe strawberry, black cherry and blackcurrant over dark chocolate, leather and to***co. Silky tannins, balanced acidity, and a finish that goes on and on.
2024 was one of the smallest harvests in BC history after January's deep freeze. These old vines were hardy enough to come through it. Every bottle is a little scarcer this year because of it.
Fermented in a 10,000L oak foudre and bottled young. Pour it with baby back ribs, a good burger, or a book and a fireplace.
