Merlot driven blend with Cab Sauv, Cab Franc and Petit Verdot. Well rounded and luscious tannins, violet-dominant on the nose and black fruit driven on the palette. Good for a BC blend, but thought it would have been even better given the talk about this wine….

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.

Going old school tonight. Pleasantly surprised that this '01 held up as nicely as it did. Brava Senka.
