Vibrant ruby red, well balanced juicy red berry, blackberry fruit with a tart cherry undertone, savoury herbal notes of black sage, baking spice. Medium acidity, integrated alcohol, medium tannins. A sure crowd pleaser. Paired well with beef and lentil chilli. Tasted Dec 2016. Rated 89/100. Bespoketastings.ca
Monique Sosa - Accredited Sommelier rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Lovely black plum, cassis and floral notes with of leather and gamey notes. The palate is smooth with mellow tannins, moderate acidity, and off-dry ripe berry fruit notes. This wine is a touch on the sweeter side of red wine blends for my taste. Enjoy this medium bodied red with spicy beef or turkey chili. Tasted Dec 2016 - @sommsosa / bespoketastings.ca
