Oliver Block White: This blended white consists of mainly Chardonnay, but also has some Pinot Gris, Semillon, and a little Viognier. The chardonnay sort of bites you with some nice oak. To some the oak is a little too much, but I'm developing a taste for oaky wines these days so I liked it.
Oliver Block Red: The blend in this wine is mostly Merlot, but also has some Syrah, as well as some Cabernet
Sauvignon. It had a lot of berry fruit on the nose, but on the palette was too tannic for my liking.Both of these wines are very young and would benefit from a little more time in the bottle. The tannins in the red might soften up a bit over time.
Rob and I are back in Vancouver and extremely happy to be here. We miss our wonderful friends in Saskatchewan and hope they get down here this summer. The wedding is creeping up slowly and we've just selected the wines for the wedding. I will save that for another post.
