WineDiva's Review

Fresh, cherry, spice.
A small winery on the Naramata Bench with limited production, Ruby Blues is a colourful winery and their labels reflect their personalities.
This release comes on the heels of a very tough 2024 vintage for the Okanagan Valley with widespread damage due to cold. Luckily the Naramata Bench fared better than other areas.
A blend of Merlot (70%) with Gewurztraminer and Pinot Gris, it has a ruby-hue with copper glints. Notes of watermelon and cranberry, pomegranate, orange peel and exotic spices leads to a palate of juicy cherry and menthol flavours. Overall nice freshness; a rose for the holidays.

Recommended Pairings
Spicy Food, Patio Sippers, Appetizers
