Hester Creek Estate Winery Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, BC V.Q.A., Canada
1 day, 8 hours ago

Jennifer scored this wine: 92/100

This Cabernet Sauvignon is a beautiful celebration of southern Okanagan Cabernet Sauvignon. Rich, layered, and so enjoyable! Aromas of blackberry, dried currant, and black plums, along with notes of graphite, leather, and sweet spicy hints. Full bodied on the palate, with firm tannins that benefit from some time in the decanter. Berry flavours on the palate are rich, ripe, and rounded, with hints of dried fruit. Those berry notes mingle with more savoury and earthy hints on a lengthy finish. Enjoy over the next 10 years with rich grilled meats or mushroom dishes.

Jennifer scored this wine: 91/100

Bright and vibrant, this is a lovely blend of Grenache and Carignan from the historial Fitou, Midi region. Aromas of red cherry, strawberry, and raspberry, with hints of spices. Medium bodied, dry, with drying tannins, and vibrant, bold berries, this wine is bright and fresh but still with a nice amount of body and tons of flavour. Enjoy with any mushroom dishes.

Provenance Series

Township 7 Vineyards & Winery Provenance Series Sauvignon Blanc 2022

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia BC V.Q.A., Canada

Jennifer scored this wine: 91/100

Tasted in 2025, and still vibrant and full of life. This is a gorgeous Sauvignon Blanc, playing with the balance of ripe and tart citrus and tropical hints, creamy texture, and a slight hint of green herbs. Really beautiful altogether, this wine is dry on the palate, with rounded fruit notes, and zesty herbacous and saline hints on the finish. Enjoy with any fish or seafood, and this would also balance and play well with any fried foods.

Light and aromatic, with aromas of white florals, lychee, and pithy citrus. Light bodied, dry on the palate with crisp, lemon, grapefruit and floral notes on the palate. Enjoy with rich white fish such as halibut in a buttery sauce.
