#WBC13 Perseus Tempus Syrah `10 Live Blog Red

Wow, smells nice.  A perfumey Rhone fermentation. It really makes this wine unique and drinkable.  I just want to smell this all day.  It has vanilla notes, and an aromatic background.  This is my go to relaxing wine for the night.  I could easily imagine just opening this after a long day, taking a big sniff, and sipping,then sipping some more, and then some more.

Perseus Winery Penticton, British Columbia, Canada.  Yet another wine that for now, is exclusive to Canada.  Maybe one day, they will be allowed to export to the rest of the world.

#WBC13 Black Sage Vineyard Merlot `10 Live Blog Red

Jason James, Winemaker.presented this smooth Merlot.  This was a bottle from a 1500 case year.  This is a wine that sadly most people will never get to taste.  It is a limited wine, and I feel very lucky to have been able to taste it. 

#WBC13 NK`MIP QwAM QWMT Syrah `08 Live Blog Red

This is a wine that is a collaboration between the First Nation NK`MIP and Constellation wine. All grapes are grown on native soil.  14% ETOH, this wine is a contender.  And a great representation of the desert lands and good to drink too.
