Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, Canada
Intense everything. Cassis, dark plum and cherry. Cigar and liquorice. Vanilla. Soft tannins. Crazy long finish. Outstanding.

Jazzy tobacco finish that’s somewhat bitter and tight. Something unique going on on the back palate and finish, though. Reminds me of bitter Mexican chocolate with a hint of cinnamon. Maybe the heavy tobacco will mellow out a bit when it opens up. (I’ll get back to you.) But right out of the bottle it’s a very drinkable wine with an Okanagan profile. Not getting the notes of vanilla and strawberry jam mentioned on the label, but it’s a better wine without them. ;-)

Full bodied and complex. Has heavy tannins. Combination of cherry, plum cassis followed by heavy spices and cloves. Well balanced without an overpowering taste. Thoroughly enjoyable.
