Description
K Little Vintners™ pays homage to the family name behind Bottega Wine Studio™, its brands and Kristine Little, our winemaker’s wife.
Like the Littles, these white and red blends reflect their transparency, honesty, and easy-going nature, while staying true to their roots. Similar to our viticulture and winemaking philosophy we use to grow these premium grapes and create this delicious Merlot wine, with a small percent of Cabernet Franc
Far from bland but never over the top, just fresh fun and funky, that’s K Little Vintners™! Enjoy My Red!
Our 2021 My Red is a blend of 58% merlot and 42% Cabernet franc both from the Oliver Osoyoos area. This years version is reminiscent of an Italian red, rustic, elegant, some dark fruits framed with a soft edge from the merlot with fine grained dusty tannins. The Cab Franc adds freshness and brambly flavours. Recently bottles so decanting is recommended to soften the tannins or age upto 5 years

BC Wine Trends –
The red wine is mostly Merlot and some Cabernet Franc. Aged 24 months in French oak, 50% second fill and 50% third fill. Aged as a blend. The Merlot is from Osoyoos and the Cabernet Franc from the same vineyard as the Seven Directions Cabernet Franc rose´.
This is an easy-drinking red but with enough structure to be appreciated by the seasoned drinker. On the nose black fruit and chocolate are dominant. Flavours of blackberry, black currant and dark chocolate with black pepper and earthy notes. Good to drink now but will improve with cellar ageing. 88 Points.
