2022 Da Silva “Vinho Tinto” | 92pts

The 2022 Vinho Tinto continues to be one of the smartest buys for BC red wine lovers. It carries the clear signature of an exceptional, balanced Okanagan vintage, showing ripe fruit, freshness, and polish in equal measure. This wine often includes new oak and fruit from the exact same premium vineyard sites that feed into the Legado program, specifically the Nobreza Meritage, one of the highest-rated red wines we’ve ever featured in the club, but here it’s delivered at a fraction of the price.

Expect notes of cassis, blackberry, and dark cherry, with hints of violet, cedar box, and spice.  This is followed by a round, approachable palate with dark fruit depth, a touch of chocolate. A subtle oak influence brings a spicy lift towards the end, finishing bright and well-structured.

I love the pulse and the intensity of this wine with a great length for the price.  A complete, food-friendly red that captures everything that made 2022 such a standout vintage in the Okanagan. (Carl Boucher, January 21, 2026)
