2016 vintage.
Dark red cherry core..with earthiness in the back behind the fruit.
Well developed.
Dark cherry and raspberry with cinnamon and medium plus acidity.
Acidity is there but because it’s so well integrated with the wine it is gentle with the fruit.
When puzzle pieces fit perfectly together…this is the result.
We grilled whole Sockeye Salmon on the BBQ with this wine.
That’s why we live here.

2022 vintage.
Grenache blend with Tempranillo and Syrah.
Tough vintage with drought happening.and I think they picked early.
Cherries, plums, roasted herbs but definitely with a green herbaceous quality on the nose and initial tasting.
Still…I like this wine BUT it is not as big, rich and full flavoured as previous vintages.
Thanks Mother Nature.
