2020 Q&A
OKANAGAN VALLEY BC VQA
45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Merlot,
13% Cabernet Franc, 4% Petit Verdot
The 2020 vintage is elegant yet densely concentrated, with layers of fruit that continually evolve in the glass. Expressive aromas of midsummer Okanagan cherry and wild blackberry are seamlessly balanced by cloves and cedar, with a thoughtful, restrained use of oak that keeps the fruit the focus.
Drinking beautifully now, the polished, fine-grained tannins and exceptional depth will reward careful cellaring over the next 10-15 years.

The inaugural vintage of the Q&A White offers a generous nose of honeyed apricots, candied lemon, and beeswax, lifted by expressive orange blossom aromatics and delicate oak spice. Textured, intensely concentrated, and beautifully balanced, it will effortlessly cellar for three to five years.
