The wine region of Okanagan Valley
Main vineyard of western Canada, unique climatic contrast. Cooler north: fine Pinot Noir with red fruits, mineral Riesling, balanced Chardonnay. Sunny desert south (Osoyoos): firm Cabernet Sauvignon, round Merlot, spicy deep Syrah. World-renowned specialty: Icewine from Riesling or Vidal, sweet and concentrated (apricot, honey, candied fruits), from grapes frozen on the vine.
The wine region of British Columbia
Canada's west-coast benchmark, wine heartland in the Okanagan Valley. Semi-desert continental climate, marked temperature swings: signature Pinot Gris (pear, honey, spice, round palate), fresh, fine Pinot Noir (cherry, undergrowth), precise Chardonnay and taut Riesling in the north. Hot south for dense Cabernet Sauvignon, round Merlot and peppery Syrah. Also exceptional Icewine (Vidal, Riesling).
The word of the wine: Wooded
A set of aromas brought about by ageing in barrels (usually oak). This can be pleasant when, in small doses, it brings a touch of spice, roast or vanilla to an already constructed ensemble. When the violent woodiness dominates the wine, it is quickly tiring. Easily identifiable aromatically, it is sought after (to the point of abuse) by the makers of coarse wines. New World manufacturers and, alas, some French winemakers use oak chips to impart the woody taste, which is tantamount to artificial flavoring.
