This is a juicy, lip-smacking, robust blend of Frontenac Noir, Marquette, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grapes. This BC red wine with aromas of dark berries and smoke. Train robber Billy Miner is on the front label, a local rascal from the 1890s. Pair with a pepper steak.

Food pairings: mushroom dishes, duck, tomato based pastas.

Reviews and Ratings

Julian Park rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

82% Merlot. The BlackBerry jumps out of the glass plus blueberry and chocolate aromas. On the palate, blackberries, sour cherries, leather, black pepper and smooth tannins. This easy drink red is awesome with BBQ Tri-Tip beef. Drink now!

Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Your next Bbq wine! Blended from Merlot, Marquette, Cabernet Sauvignon, Frontenac Noir, and Cabernet Franc, aromas include ripe red cherry, vanilla, smoke and a hint of a savoury note. Bright acidity, with ripe fruit and berry flavours coming through on the palate. This wine is robust and full bodied with a slightly savoury finish. Enjoy with gourmet burgers or portobello mushrooms.,
