Elegant plum, floral and graphite minerality aromas with a satiny smooth mouthfeel, medium body, and long sumptuous finish. Enjoy with gourmet blue cheese and bacon beef burgers. Tasted May 2017 by @sommsosa | bespoketastings.ca
Andrea Shapiro rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Great colour! Deep ruby. Pronounced aromas are vibrant with blackberry, blueberry, plum, cedar and hints of smokey vanilla. On the palate it’s quite decadent with cherry, mushroom, plum and spices. Some herbal notes too, bay leaves, and tobacco. Medium acidity and body with a medium plus finish. Beef and Cremini mushrooms with truffle oil. 88 points - tasted December 2017
