Solstice
Reserve 2009
Background
The 2009 Solstice
Reserve is a blend of 60% Merlot and 40% Zweigelt grown
on the steep, gravelly slopes of Suncrest Vineyard in Okanagan Centre. This wine reflects its origins through low
yields in the vineyard, minimal handling and slow
maturation techniques. It is aged in French oak barrels
for twelve months and bottle-aged for an additional six
months prior to release. Solstice Reserve reflects both
the essence of our unique surroundings and our
commitment to quality.
Tasting Notes
Rich and dense,
it displays aromas of raspberry, cherry and plum and a
subtle note of black pepper. The palate is full-bodied
and generous, providing plenty of ripe fruit through to
the finish. This unique and age-worthy blend is our
signature red wine.
Food Pairing Suggestions
A wine that takes its
time to show its best also deserves the same of its food.
This calls for real barbecue - slow cooked and wood smoked pork,
beef or lamb. For those in a rush it also pairs just fine
with grilled steak.
