One of the better Cab Franc blends I've tried from BC, rich brambly nose on a big, layered frame of dry cherry and leather. 🇨🇦 getting better and better.

A cherry nose... On the palate, dark cherry, blackberry... Cedar... Dark chocolate... Black Forest cake in a glass.

Nose is largely absent, but makes up for it with a big whack of bright cherry and plum on the front of the palate. Hints of tobacco and vanilla on the full, lingering finish. Full, young tannins, will get better over next 3-5 yrs.

Nice full body Okanagan wine. Has distinct tobacco notes that pairs well with a good steak! Always my go to.

Great full bodied blend from the south Okanagan. Picked it up after sampling at the winery this spring. Smoky, woody, lots of berry and some coffee. Was fun to enjoy a great Canadian wine on Canada Day! So happy I bought two.

Love this wine. One of our favorite BC wines. Wish I still had some of the 2011 vintage.
