Three Sisters Cabernet Franc
$37.99
We are really excited about these wines, because one of the "Three Sisters", Rebecca Mikulic (nee Lawrence) used to work here at KWM. That and the wines are also delicious! Rebecca and her husband winemaker Matthew Mikulic grow grapes throughout the Okanagan, and have a winery on the Naramata Bench. This Cabernet Franc was macerated and fermented in small lightly pressed lots and aged 18 months in new and neutral American & French oak.
Producer Description
"All the grapes were grown by Earlco Vineyards Ltd. and sourced exclusively from the Naramata Bench. Picked by hand at optimum ripeness. The juice was macerated and fermented in small lots then grapes were lightly pressed. Wine was aged for approximately 18 months in a combination of new and neutral French and American barrels. Full malolactic fermentation occurred during this time and wine was bottled unfined and unfiltered."

Chateau La Tour Blanche
$127.99
Rated as one of the top Sauternes from 2016, the Château La Tour Blanche is outstanding. While 2016 was not a great vintage for the sweet wines of Sauternes, this beauty makes the most of it. Fabulous notes of honeyed peach, tangerine, flower oil, and honeyed citrus all give way to a sexy, full-bodied, flamboyant effort that’s already impossible to resist. Drink it any time over the coming two decades.

S. Usseglio LAutre Rive Lirac
$34.99
Stephane Usseglio produces wines under his own label and is now in charge of winemaking at his family's domaine, Raymond Usseglio & Fils. It's a blend of 70% old vine Grenache from 80-year-old plus vines, along with some old vine Syrah and Cinsault. Lirac is situated opposite Chateauneuf-du-Pape on the opposite side of the Rhone River (hence the name, which translates to "the other shore"). The best examples of Lirac, like this one, can give Chateauneuf a run for considerably less money.
Meerendal Pinotage
$22.99
Meerendal Wine Estate dates back to 1702 and is home to some of the oldest plantings of Pinotage in the world, with some vines dating back to 1955. Pinotage is a genetic cross of Cinsault and Pinot Noir that has found a home in South Africa. The Meerendal Pinotage exhibits notes of juicy blackberries, dark cherries, cassis and dusty leather with a palate full of soft tannins, and a fruity and earthy finish.
Producer Tasting Note
"Meerendal Pinotage has an intense plum and chocolate nose, with cherry tobacco and cedar wood. The tannins are soft and well-balanced. It has a full palate with an exceptionally long aftertaste. Excellent with venison, guinea fowl and anything South African."
