WineDiva's Review

Plush, supple, pleasing.
Hester Creek is one of BC's most established estates, is home to some of the province's oldest wines, and is located on the Golden Mile sub-GI in Oliver.
This plush and approachable delivers fragrant notes of sarsaparilla and raspberry, cherry jam and purple flowers. It's fresh and supple, medium-bodied and flavoured with tobacco and dark chocolate. Perfect for pizzas, burgers and game day feasts.
