2009 Kettle Valley Winery Naramata Bench Reserve Extra 4079
Highlights

This wine draws it's name as a tribute to the last train, "EXTRA 4079", to climb the summit of the
Coquihalla Pass on the Kettle Valley Railway, on November 23, 1959. Four major washouts had occurred
that day and the railway closed for repairs. On January 9, 1961 after being closed for nearly 14
months the CPR announced they would not re-open the railway line through the Pass. This brought to
an end all direct rail service between the Coast and the Okanagan Valley and to the rail line
itself. The grapes for this red blend come primarily from the Hancock vineyard in Naramata. The
grapes were hand picked October 26, 2008. This red wine exhibits very rich, ripe and jammy flavours.
