Reviews and Ratings

Rick Anderson rated this wine as 94/100

Did not buy. Rec by NM
With a more Cabernet-inspired blend, the 2007 Compendium is dense and deep with captivating aromas of red currants, cedar, cinnamon and hints of mint. The mineral-infused palate is pure and fresh, with classic southern Okanagan notes of dried earth, sage, plum and sundried blackberries. With ample tannins and fresh acidity, this wine will cellar well and be a perfect foil for rich meats or game.

WINEMAKER’S NOTES:
50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Cabernet Franc, 21% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot. Hand harvested from Oliver and Osoyoos Vineyards into early November 2007 Fermentation & extended maceration in small French oak fermenters.
Aged in French and American oak barrels for 16.5 months
