Even though Nk'Mip is part of Vincor, this winery is more like a local secret. Over delivering in quality for the price. We hope corporate executives don't catch wind of this or we may see price increases. I have been a big fan of this winery for many years and the best part is the wines just keep getting better.

Seven years on this wine and still showing young. Complex aromatics with just a small amount of aged characteristics. Full consistent complex palate of dark berry fruits, cigar, and chocolate. Well built with aggressive tannins that are now soft. A long full finish. I'm impressed. Had with truffled risotto, sauteed wild mushrooms and arugula and crispy skinned salmon. |
