TASTING NOTE: Originally planted in 1928, the vineyards at St. Hubertus & Oak Bay Estate Winery are among the oldest in the Okanagan Valley. This complex Gamay offers up sweet cherry and red berry notes with underlying black fruit tones and a delightful pepper spice. Fresh and pretty. A great choice for seared tuna or a charcuterie platter. (Vintages panel, March 2018) |
