WineDiva's Review

Founded in 2001 by winemaker Ted Kane, River Stone is a small estate winery located in Oliver BC. It's comprised of two estate vineyards: River Rock, the 10-acre home vineyard planted in 2003; Boulder City Vineyard purchased in 2020 and planted in 2005. The estate focuses primarily on Bordeaux-varieties and aromatic whites.
The Malbec grapes are grown on the estate River Rock Vineyard, and Red Brick Vineyard in Osoyoos.
It's a plummy wine quite pretty (and less savoury than many BC Malbecs) with black raspberry, vanilla, licorice and chocolate notes. Fleshy with a supple entry it is fresh, medium-bodied and harmonious. The finish tails cherry and cedar flavours.
Wine was aged in French oak (33% new) for approx. 14 months.
