Tasting note

This fresh red shows a savory edge to its mulled cherry, plum and blackberry fruit, with pepper and tobacco leaf notes on the finish. Drink now through 2016. Score - 89. (James Molesworth, winespectator.com, Dec. 31, 2013)

Deep garnet colour with purple tints. Nose of candied fruits and toasty overtones, cocoa beans, liquorice and spicy aromas. The palate is powerful, smooth and elegant. Full-bodied wine with silky tannins and ripe fruit. Well-balanced and exceptional concentration.

*Available only in the BC Liquor Store at the Vancouver International Wine Festival Feb. 26-28, 2015.* A ripe toasty style, with alluring mocha, plum sauce and espresso notes out front, backed by fleshy raspberry coulis and currant paste flavours. Solid, showing excellent definition through the finish.
