Everyone has their favourites but I would recommend a higher end Burrowing Owl or Summerhill. If you are in Calgary, go to the Willow Park liquor store and chat with the "wine guy" - very knowledgeable - and explain what you are looking for. |
I've been doing this strategy lately with BC wine. I go on an annual trip where I buy cases of random bottles I like while doing my tastings. Some for current year consumption, some to put down. I'm finding that when I open pretty much any bottle I purchased a couple years prior it turns out amazing.
My Favorites include -
Burrowing Owl - Cab Sauv
Desert Hills - Syrah
La Frenz - Pinot Noir
Road 13 - Pinot Noir
Apparently the best bottle to age in Canada is Osoyoos Larose - Le Grand Vin, as it was created via joint venture between Vincor and a Bordeaux company for the express purpose of cellaring 10+ years. I bought a couple '07 vintages that are in the cellar now. No idea if they will turn out well or not, but I thought what the heck.
