Hearty cab with mild to medium tannins. Opened up well after sitting for a while - better on day 2 and definitely with food. Fairly dark, reflective of the dark red and black berries that come through. — a year ago
2016 was a warm year in the Okanagan Valley.
Block 4 shows more red fruit compared to Block 2 which is blue fruit inclined.
The vines are 23 years old.
Dark cherry red in the glass with earthy flavours of cherries, dark raspberries, dried herbs and anice.
This wine has a lingering finish that stays for with you for several minutes. We pizza from scratch (our own dough) with local Matsutake mushrooms and thinly sliced local duck breast.

2017 vintage.
This was a year greatly impacted by forest fires in Okanagan valley though this wine seems to be unaffected by these fires.
Raspberries, tobacco, pomegranate and leather on the nose.
Dark black fruits with plums and dark cherries in abundance.
Juicy and lively with nice acidity on the finish. — a year ago

Delicious! — 4 years ago
Primarily Cabernet Sauvignon with small amounts (6%) of Merlot and Malbec blended in. Dark ruby color. Aromas of black cherry/currants, violets and toffee. The palate is also black fruit focused with additional flavors of chocolate, black licorice and black pepper. Touch of vanilla and fresh herbs on the medium length finish. The tannins have smoothed out and the acidity is quite bright. More medium bodied and subtly sweet. Easy drinker. — 5 months ago

Flat out delicious - kept thinking it had such purity, such a familiar classic rendition of CS. Textbook typicity and outstanding balance & extraction. Found at airport! — 3 months ago
