Lori Kilmartin WSET3 rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

This is a blend of Merlot, Petite Verdot and Shiraz, Cabernet and Pinot Noir from BC that would pair with a lot of different foods from appetizers to pizza to steak. Easy drinking with aromas of smoke and dark red fruit; black plums and blackberry and some black pepper that follows through on the taste. Medium tannins and a medium finish. Tasted January 15, 2017.

Diabolica is a crowd-pleasing fruit forward Okanagan Valley BC VQA, Canadian desert-climate red blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz and Petit Verdot. Smooth and fruity, this wine is easy to enjoy with soft and supple fruit, low tannins, low acidity. Enjoy now.

Aromas of dates, cherry, vanilla, with a spicy cherry finish.

Courtney Flood rated this wine as 85/100 with the following review:

Cherry, fig, and tons of sweet tobacco aroma. Palate is sweeter with cherry, vanilla, and anise.
