Cedar-rich and savoury: lip-smacking delicious! This full-bodied, velvet-smooth BC red wine made from the Carmenere grape offers seductive aromas of fleshy ripe black plums and berries. Long finish. Pair with grilled lamb.

Reviews and Ratings

Dean Engemoen rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

Exclusive to wine club members and it sells out quickly, this beauty opens up with green pepper and jalapeno aromas, hints of fresh lettuce, smoke, red licorice and white pepper. Blackberry, cranberry, smoke and a touch of cigar box on the juicy palate. A winner, as usual.
Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Warm and spicy. Aromas of leather, cedar, blackberry and a hint of green spice like jalapeno. Medium bodied, medium acidity, smooth on the palate with ripe berry flavours and a hint of pepper on the finish. Enjoy with duck breast seasoned with five spice.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
