Tasting note
A well-made and full-bodied wine, this has generous helpings of succulent blackberry and boysenberry flavors, with a firm texture of tannins and acidity to balance out all that richness. It smells fresh and fruity, tastes juicy and crisp, and seems to gain depth and interest with repeated sips. The blend includes 10% Petite Sirah and 5% Carignan. Editors' Choice. Score - 91. (Jim Gordon, Wine Enthusiast, Sept. 2015)
This dry, full-bodied and fruity red displays a complex and intense nose. On the palate, its refreshing acidity, fleshy tannins, and full-bodied texture precede a long finish.
*Available only in the BC Liquor Store at the Vancouver International Wine Festival Feb. 26-28, 2015.*
