Painted Rock Estate Winery Red Icon 2011, Okanagan Valley, BC V.Q.A., Canada: Some producers seem immune (or allergic) to tough vintages, or perhaps it just brings out the best in them. This splendid, full-bodied red is one such shining example. It has it all: balance, finesse, depth, concentration and length on the finish. Gorgeous dark red and black fruit wrapped in just enough oak. Stunning. Drink: 2014-2024. 284190 14.30% XD 750 mL $85.00 Score: 95/100. November 9, 2013
