Osoyoos Larose is a pet project of wine industry giant Vincor. It's a 25 acres winery near the Osoyoos Lake in British Columbia, with the winemaking handled by joint venture partner Groupe Tailan, a respected Bordeaux wine company.

This wine is an excellent value. Winemaker Pascal Madevoners has made a wine with layers of flavor,heralded by a rich ripe strawberry scent in the nose. The wine has a firm tannic structure, with plenty of fruit to sustain aging. Chocolate, green olive, vanilla, white pepper and smoke notes emerge from an overall black cherry and black berry flavor. The wine will benefit from 3-5 years of additional aging.
