Here is my top-rated wine of this feature—and one of the highest-rated BC Cabernet Sauvignons I’ve tasted in the past several years. I was a big fan of the 2019 release (92pts, CWC), but this 2020 vintage is simply spectacular. The Cabernet Sauvignon was sourced from the Bordertown Vineyard near the U.S. border in Osoyoos, blended with a small portion of Cabernet Franc from the Herrera Family Vineyard in the Similkameen Valley. On the nose, it delivers seductive aromas of pure black cherry, cassis, dark plum, cocoa, graphite, and tobacco. The palate is silky-soft, with bright acidity still carrying through, and tannins that are now melting seamlessly into the wine’s structure. Expect layers of dark cherry, cassis, black raspberry, vanilla, espresso, a touch of sage, and a long, mineral-driven finish. I’d say this wine is entering its prime drinking window now and will continue to shine for at least another five years. Absolutely delicious. (Carl Boucher, May 2, 2025) Only 82 cases made.
