Weekend Tastings

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 2ND
3-6 PM
With Co- Conspirator Rob Hammersley!

Black Market 2015 Collusion $24.34 +taxes 
STAFF FAVOURITE
A classic white Bordeaux blend, but this is pure Okanagan in style! Both varietals were hand-harvested early in the morning to preserve the acidity, lightly pressed and fermented separately in stainless steel tanks. The Semillon was then aged almost 5 months in a new, lightly toasted 500L French oak barrel before blending with the Sauvignon Blanc. A luscious, medium-bodied wine with a creamy texture. Notes of grapefruit, honeysuckle and orange blossom with a bit of caramel on the finish. This wine has achieved a beautiful balance between crisp acidity and residual sugar. This is a highly versatile wine on the table. The textural complexity, medium body and crisp acidity enables Collusion to pair well with many different dishes. Cream-based pastas, seafood salads and ripe soft cheese comes to mind. 

Black Market 2015 Secret Society $22.60 +taxes 
With a name like Black Market, it should come as no surprise that there are a few things going on that we just can’t talk about. We set out to create a white blend that was exotically aromatic, crisp on the palate and balanced by citrus and tropical fruitiness…and that’s exactly what the Secret Society delivers. But you know how the old saying goes: “If we told you what was in it,we’d have to…” You get the idea. This wine offers exotic aromas of lychee, yellow citrus fruits, Fuji apple, orange blossom, sweet baking spices and a hint of acacia. Dry on the palate, you will find grapefruit, Meyer lemon, and a touch of baked apple, all balanced together with crisp acidity. Perfect for an afternoon on the patio or an evening of al fresco dining.

Black Market 2014 Syrah $30.43 +taxes 
CLUB SPW WINE
The grapes were harvested on October 23rd. The Syrah was co-fermented with 8% Viognier to enhance the floral and fruity notes, and to provide a rounder mouth feel. After a slow and warm fermentation, the wine underwent another 10 days of maceration to extract more phenolic compounds. The wine spent 18 months in 40% new French and American oak barrels. Full-bodied with a luscious mouth feel, the tannins are lifted by a hint of acidity. Aromas of blueberry, blackberry and a bit of smoke are followed on the palate by savoury notes of black olive, clove and smoked bacon. The wine lingers with the hallmark pepper notes on the long finish. For cheese, think soft and stinky to match the earthiness of the wine. For meats, roasted game, smoked baby back ribs, or even a blue cheese burger. You could also try adding Herbes de Provence to any dish to bring out the floral notes in the wine.

Black Market 2014 Syndicate
NEW VINTAGE RELEASE
AThis full-bodied blend is an elegant combination of Cabernet Sauvignon (37%), Merlot (36%), Cabernet Franc (23%) and Petit Verdot (4%).  Each varietal was fermented separately in small lots and aged for 15 to 18 months in French oak barrels, of which 30% were new. The final blend was assembled, bottled and aged a further 9 months before being released. A luscious, well-balanced wine that is approachable now, but with the acidity and tannin structure to enable cellaring and enjoyment over the next 3-5 years. The wine opens with seductive aromas of red cherries and plum, layered with sweet spices and a touch of mint and cedar. On the palate you’ll find equally enticing flavours of black currant, blueberries, café mocha and a hint of cherry cola. The texture is concentrated and the silky tannins are well integrated with the acid structure, making this an exceptionally balanced and food-friendly wine. We achieved a balanced wine with enough acidity and tannins to enjoy with a variety of foods, especially with grilled or roasted red meats.
