Description

Enjoy a magnum (1.5 litre) bottle of the 2022 vintage one of the most sought after wines in BC - Black Hills Nota Bene.


The 2022 Nota Bene embodies the South Okanagan terroir. Merlot, thriving in moderate temperatures, offers succulent dewberry and black cherry, blending with Cabernet Sauvignon's herbal notes and Cabernet Franc's floral lift. Evolving in the glass, it reveals red currant, sweet mint, and raspberry blossom. Rich yet fresh, with fine-grained tannins, it will cellar gracefully for 20+ years, while also enjoyable in its youth with decanting.


The 2022 growing season started with temperatures well below seasonal averages in May and June, while rainfall was plentiful. The cool and damp spring delayed budburst and shoot development, and as a result flowering and fruit set occurred up to three weeks later than average. July and August brought a return to more typical weather conditions with warm temperatures, clear skies, and very little rain. This allowed the vines to thrive and make up for any lost ripening time. A warm and dry fall enabled extended hang time, allowing the grapes to reach excellent levels of ripeness. The 2022 wines are textural and elegant, showing great aromatic intensity, vibrant fruit characters, and bright acidity.
