Phantom Creek Estates, located on the renowned Black Sage Bench in British Columbia’s Okanagan Valley, is celebrated for its single-vineyard Bordeaux reds, expressive Alsace-inspired whites, and the region’s signature Viognier and Syrah. Founded by Richter Bai with the acquisition of the famed Becker and Phantom Creek Vineyards in 2016, the estate combines a passion for Bordeaux-style wines with a commitment to excellence. Today, under the guidance of Olivier Humbrecht MW, its vineyards are 100% certified organic and farmed biodynamically. By emphasizing individual vineyards and grape varieties, Phantom Creek Estates crafts wines that capture the unique character of their terroir while showcasing the distinct aromas and flavours of each variety, resulting in wines of remarkable clarity, complexity, and depth—a truly singular tasting experience.
Crafted from Cabernet Franc grapes sourced from the Black Sage and Golden Mile Benches, the 2022 Estate release is abundant and expressive. The bouquet reveals ripe cherries, delicate violet and herbal nuances, layered with gentle hints of toasted cloves, and a subtle thread of leather for added depth. On the palate, the wine mirrors the flavours of the nose, balancing ripe fruit with savoury undertones. Full-bodied, with seamlessly integrated tannins and lively acidity, this vintage offers generous character and finesse.
