Light lemon green in the glass. Classic subtle petrol and citrus (lime zest). Palate has a steely citrus and bright acidic character that beautifully compliments the off dry start. Still developing and can be drunk now or held for years. This will only get better.

Nice; weightier than the 30 bench wines and drier.

Just this side of bone-dry. Citrus, nectarine & a hint of jalepeño. Nice acidic lift. Not enamel stripping. Mid-weight texture on a lingering finish.

Light greenish yellow color. Apple pie scents with hints of lemon zest. Extremely tart start, almost unripe tasting it is so acidic. Green apples, lemon/lime, and a splash of gasoline. Not too sweet. Interesting but a bit overwhelming.

Light yellow. Lemon and a hint of rubber. Probably the most acidic wine I've had - teeth chatteringly acidic. Good wine, but not quite to my palate. Interesting though. I'm glad the okanangan is making wine's like this.

Slight chartreuse colour. Granny Smith, red delicious, fresh lime. Has resolved & picked up weight & more minerality.

Clear, pale yellow, watery rim nice tears. Clean, med - intensity, apricots, honey, slight cigar box, lemon, and fresh cut grass. Med-light body, light alcohol, off dry, med acidity, honey and apricot are the strong flavours, some hawthorn. Not terribly complex, with a med finish, no tannins. Refreshing, perhaps not quite ready for drinking.

Just off dry with really nice acidity. Pear and apple flavours dominate. I found this pretty tasty.

A pale straw colored wine, citrus nose. Drank side-by-side with a '09 and found the '10 to be wanting in many aspects.

Very pleasant citrus nose with some orange which carries through to the mouth. Well balanced sweetness and acid.
