A spectacular and robust red wine of many dimensions! Complex, rich, deep and long: this Canadian flagship wine has it all. A great cellar candidate as well. Taste the very best of what BC (and Canada) can produce from this top-notch winery in a superb vintage.

Meritage food pairings: slow roasted duck or classically prepared roast beef.

Reviews and Ratings

Blend composition: 55% Cabernet Franc, 25% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2.5% Malbec, 2.5% Petit Verdot
The different components to this blend were treated separately through the winemaking process until the first assemblage after 3 months of barrel ageing. The 2010 sees the return of Cabernet Franc as a leading component to the blend.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
