93 points- Daenna Van Mulligan, WineDiva Complex, polished, balanced. Corcelettes is a boutique winery settled on 150 acres of the Similkameen Valley's Upper Bench in Keremeos. Talus, Corcelettes' new flagship wine, is built from the very best fruit grown on their alluvial deposit and gravelly sandy loam soil vineyard. A blend of Merlot (38%), Cabernet Franc (31%), Cabernet Sauvignon (15%), Petit Verdot (12%) and Malbec (4%) that was harvested throughout October and November of 2018; it was aged 18-months in French oak barrels before bottling. This inaugural release expresses spiced plums, sweet black currents and blueberries atop muddled dried violets, pipe tobacco, vanilla and chocolate. Admirably constructed, it delivers dusty dark fruit, dark cocoa and savoury spices stirred with wild Similkameen brush flavours. The tannins, while evident and youthful, are polished; the balance is on point, complexity is notable. This wine could not be made anywhere else, it shows true definition of place in every sip. ~WineDiva.ca ~WineScores.ca 93 points
