\"Two<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In my most recent Globe & Mail column, I’ve featured two Okanagan Valley blockbuster blends that are both coveted and collectible. You might open one tonight, but save the other for a few years. The first is …<\/p>\n

\n

2006 Burrowing Owl Meritage<\/strong> ($56)<\/p>\n

With enticing aromas of cassis, black plum, blackberries and coffeed oak, this one’s destined to become a cult classic. The plush layers of dark fruit will easily transform a dreary winter work-night into a celebration. It’s beautifully structured, with a finish that’s as long as the yacht you’re planning to buy.<\/p>\n

Score: 93\/100<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

2006 Mission Hill Family Estates Oculus<\/strong> ($77)<\/p>\n

This Bordeaux-inspired red blends Old World finesse with New World power. The winery hand-picks the grapes from the best blocks in its vineyards, and ages the wine in French barrels for 14 1\/2 months. The result of all this coddling? A core of blackcurrant and cassis encased in a cigar box. Perfect for when you cash in your Google stock.<\/p>\n

Score: 96\/100<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

 <\/p>\n

Both of these wineries make terrific wines at lower price points too. And of course, there are many more fabulous BC wines that you’ll find in my wine reviews<\/a>, easily searched by region, price, score, vintage, food match and recipe.<\/p>\n
