Fork in the Road

Truly great wines derive their unique character from the place where they are made. The beautiful and pristine Okanagan Valley is cradled between the Cascade Mountains to the West and the Monashees to the East in south central British Columbia. The single degree of latitude north of the 49th parallel Canada/US border offers a remarkable breadth of microclimates and soils, creating one of the most fertile and versatile growing regions in the world. This is the home of Fork in the Road.

Tasting Notes

Exceptionally Okanagan. Unapologetically non-conformist. This distinctive blend of Merlot, Syrah and Cabernets is complex and balanced with lively acidity. Aromas of early ripe cherries lead to briary, complex flavours of brambleberry, lavender and chocolate mocha.
