This wine has developed a fair reputation for being a big brute, and for serious this might be our best yet. A truly debauched blend of 47% Merlot, 39% Petit Verdot and 14% Malbec. Now you do the math. Is that your final answer? Well, let’s hope you came up with ‘What is a ripe, super textured and powerful wine with oodles of loganberry compote, cinnamon and lavender dusted leather. This my favourite BC red wine.’ Somewhere, Pat SaJak is smiling away.
Ross O. is a strange cat, there’s no questioning that. Not one for presumptive labels, Ross O. is Pinot Noir. Pinot Noir from West Kelowna, from a 30 year old vineyard. Pinot Noir from a funky old clone; Spatburgunder (clone 93, if you‘re keeping count). Ross O. is multifaceted though, in the sense there’s also a pinch of Gamay in there too. Ross O. is savoury and seductive, vibrant and vivacious.
