Burrowing Owl Has Arrived!

Two new releases of Burrowing Owl were received today. We have 2 cases of the Meritage and 5 cases of the Chardonnay. These will sell fast, so don't be disappointed!!

The 2006 Chardonnay displays classic stone-fruit aromas of white peach and white nectarine along with hints of orange blossom and rich toasted oak. The flavours continue onto the palate with the stonefruit and oak melding to transform the wine into a complex expression of Okanagan Chardonnay. Texturally, the wine is big and round in the mouth with a soft, viscous mouthfeel and a nutty, warm finish. Drink now through 2010.

The 2005 Meritage shows aromas of heady, smoky, mixtures of violets, cassis, blackberry, plums, vanilla, cloves, and toasty oak. On the palate, the wine is firm yet subtle, offering big, rich flavours, seamless texture and tremendous persistence of flavours.
