A terrific, juicy BC red wine blend of 38% Merlot, 36% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Cabernet Franc, 5% Malbec and 1% Petit Verdot. Aromas of cracked black pepper, fleshy ripe black plum and toasty oak. Decant 1 hour and enjoy with a rare steak.

Reviews and Ratings

Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

This is a lovely wine, showing a lot of complexity and balance of flavours. Aromas of cranberry, plum, cherry, along with some campfire smoke and some minty herbal notes. Full bodied on the palate, some grippy but not overwhelming tannin that are smoothed out with some decanting. This wine spent 18 months in French oak, imparting some roundness and body that balances well with nice acidity and those nice berry and plum notes. Long finish. Enjoy with a perfectly grilled steak!

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.
