Reviews and Ratings

Monique Sosa - Accredited Sommelier rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

Rich, smooth and calling for more. This full-bodied bordelais style blend shows enticing complex notes of black plum, violets, sweet baking spice, anise and graphite minerality. It's well-balanced and mouthwatering with long lasting notes of cassis and mint. Pair with craberry balsamic glazed roasted pork tenderloin. Tasted Dec 2016 - @sommsosa / bespoketastings.ca
Jon Steeves - Sommelier rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

Yielding from carefully selected fruit from the Blind Creek vineyard in the BC Similkameen Valley, this wine is vinified from 60% Cab Franc and 40% Merlot. Smooth, deep and well structured with robust tannins and fruit. 14.4% ABV declared. Integrating alcohol. Paired well with braised beef short ribs, BBQ AAA beef tenderloin and butter seared mushrooms. Tasted Dec 2016. Rated 92/100. Winner of the silver medal at the 2016 National Wine Awards of Canada.
