Great value for money, all that smoky, inky, bruised blackberry fruit. Well balanced palate. One of the best value reds of the past year or so.

A very approachable red blend with delightful fruit aromas, smooth mouth feel punching over its weight. 14% alc/vol -$22.00 CAD Cheers 🍷

Smoky. Dark. Inky. Leathery. Good legs and a blueish purple color. Dry, with leather on palate, and a deep blackberry and licorice taste that pairs well with pecans.

Definitely needed to let this age a bit more. Time would have mellowed it out a bit. Still a great blend. Dry. Leather.

This remarkably balanced wine blends syrah, grenache noir and carignan in almost equivalent proportions, and it’s fun to detect aromas from each. Powerful wine for wine afficionados.

Made from 70-year+ vines, this carignan / syrah / grenache blend is very fruity, round and feels nicely balanced. A gem that drinks very nicely now although age will surely give it more complexity.
