My buddy loves the wine from Orofino. He has brought a few different bottles of red over and they've all been really good after they are properly aerated. He wanted to try every winery in the Similkameen valley/Osooyoos and Oliver by next year (and enjoy it, not rush it like a check list).
One weird aspect about one of the Orofino wine he brought over though is that we felt they took a ridiculously long time to open up. One of the bottles took over 2.5 hours. We kept sipping and swirling the decanter a little every 15 minutes or so on the side until a specific flavor dissipated. It was still very good, but the wait for it to fully open up was so worth it.
