Tasting note
Aromas of white pepper, black raspberry, chocolate fudge and an interesting mineral quality. Flavours of red and black berries, smoked meat and a note of spice.

Featured in TASTE Magazine, Winter 2012 issue. Shiraz from Okanagan and Similkameen Valley soils is quickly becoming a hit. This wine is a deep purple colour with intense aromas of toasty oak, damson plum, blueberry and some meaty, gamy notes making it a perfect pairing with BC wild game meat. The palate is full with medium acidity, ripe tannins, flavours of blueberry, plum, blackberry and lots of chocolate, coffee and vanillin oak.
