Gold, All Canadian Wine Championship, 2013
John Schreiner, noted BC wine author
If this wine is in your cellar, give it a few more years to achieve its potential. Having said that, it is already approachable, with aromas of vanilla and oak and flavours of black currant and black cherry. The wine is full and richly concentrated. Feb. 1, 2014
Michael Botner, Okanagan Life Magazine
“Blending in 14% Cabernet Sauvignon adds backbone and depth to this bold Merlot. Subtle flavours seduce with nuances of ripe plum, blackberry, leather, cappuccino, cedar and vanilla. Firm tannins are sweet, velvety. Pair with game casserole.” Oct/Nov 2013
Julianna Hayes, Okanagan Sunday
“Black cherry, cassis, chocolate, coffee, tobacco, leather, sausage, sage, mint aromas. Lush mouthfeel with cherry, cranberry fruit flabours accented by cocoa, coffee bean, mint and savoury spice.” Aug. 11, 2013
