This is a classic blend from Orofino that has a strong following every vintage. The name is a nod to a local landmark bridge that crosses the Similkameen River. Soft tannins and notes of black cherry and licorice. 42% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon and 18% Syrah. Juicy and approachable and just straight up delicious.
Aged 16 months in mostly older French oak barrels, look for big juicy red and black fruits with a hint of pepper and wild herbs. Wild fermented. Unfined and unfiltered.
This vineyard was formerly a commercial gravel pit that doubled up as the local make-out spot for young lovers. I could use descriptors like luscious, spicy, juicy, sexy and lip-smacking to describe this gorgeous cabernet but that would be too easy.
Built for comfort, not for speed, this ode to Bordeaux is one for the cellar. Rich black fruits mixed with spicy notes and classic Similkameen minerality. Our best barrels make up the blend. Always unfined and unfiltered to best show off our terroir.
