Second of the Lamborn Family Vineyard wines at the Great Falls Wine Outlet this Friday. Deep ruby red with a reserved nose. Notes of mint, dried herbs and dark red berries. Heavy tannins (8/10) and full bodied. Layered palate with cocoa, blackberries, cinnamon, tons of dark gravel and might even have a touch caramel. Very interesting, might just be the sweet spices coming through strongly. Lots of finesse and long finish. Will definitely benefit from a few years in the bottle. Drink till 2032. — 8 years ago

Magnum. Initially a 93 rating and then falls apart after 1.5 hours and becomes an 89. Lovely, classic , delicate, herbal Bordeaux. Rich and balanced initially and then declines rapidly. Very sad. — 9 years ago

Second wine at Great Falls Wine Outlet this Friday and second Skipstone. Deep garnet red. A little savory on the nose with some earthiness, tobacco, animal nuances, plums, and spices. Medium tannins (6.5/10) and full bodied. A bit bigger than the 2005 but not as integrated. Dark plums on the palate with some floral notes and crushed gravel. Long and lingering finish. Definitely has potential to improve. Drink till 2025. (92+)

This is our entry level Pinot Noir, fruit from estate vineyard in OK Falls and three vineyards in SE Kelowna. Older seasoned French oak barrels, fruit and cherry on the nose. Well balanced - a lovely expression of an Okanagan Pinot. Drinking well now but certainly has a few more years. — 7 years ago
Great up front and mid palate. Falls off on the finish. I just think this needs time to fully integrate. — 8 years ago
Lovely nose of cherry, strawberry and a hint of rose petals. Well structured red and black fruit with a cola backbone on the palate. Moderate plus and consistent acid from start to long finish. This is a big but disciplined Pinot that falls somewhere between a California and Burgundy style. — 8 years ago
Very enjoyable, smooth dry red blend. — 9 years ago
