Milk chocolate, red currant and super jammy. Lots of plum and medium tannins on palate!

True to the name, but thick and delicious.

Dark fruit with medium tannins. This wine is a little too ripe and pruney for me.

The Dark, 2013, is the first vintage of this wine which is a blend of 60% Petite Sirah and 40% Petit Verdot. It was aged 18 months in French oak, of which 25% is new. It has intense blackberry aromas framed by floral notes and earthy spices. On the palate, layers of dark fruit, blackberries, cassis and plum, are balanced with a silky texture, firm tannins and a hint of lush earth. The finish is long and smooth and a real crowd pleaser of a wine! Pair this wine with short ribs or lamb, or on it's own after dinner with a piece of aged cheese, or smokey blue 20$-25$ CAN
