Black Hills Nota Bene 2021/2022

Black Hills Nota Bene is the flagship Bordeaux-style red blend from Black Hills Estate Winery, recognized as one of British Columbia’s most iconic "cult" wines since its debut in 1999. It is crafted from estate-grown fruit on the Black Sage Bench, a region known for its unique desert-like microclimate and sandy soils that favor late-ripening varieties. The wine is characterized by its "archetypal savoury/herbal character," featuring a complex profile of black cherry, plum, and raspberry layered with notes of mocha, sage, and sweet mint. Typically aged for 18 months in French oak, it is built for longevity and is capable of cellaring for 20+ years.
