Undoubtedly a spectacular blend from Black Hills. Library shipment to cellar 2016 and 2017 vintages. Smooth tannins and bold ripe finish. One of my favourites for BC incredible wines.

Smooth tannins, dark red berries, chocolate and a touch of cedar. Fantastic wine that will benefit from aging!

Cooler climate red blend offers nice balance from an underrated wine region.

Very glad to see that the Nota Bene is still alive and well 10 years on.
