AG nailed the notes on this wine. Really nothing to add. All dimensions of the wine check all the right boxes.
Rush of blood to the head got me and my board 🏂 out to Whistler as they extended their season. First time here and the conditions are stellar. My close friends can’t understand why I’m always on the move. My reply is “I’ll sleep when I’m dead”! 🥹

Slightly cloudy, moderately extracted red. Red fruit notes in nose. Cherry-berry flavor with length, veg, tobacco flavors initially, tart, moderate to heavy amounts of fine-grain tannin astringency in finish. Slightly hot, bitter aftertaste. Decant, have patience. Cherry and raspberry flavors with length develop, tannins soften, acids mellow; plum aftertaste. This one is a pleasure after being open 24 hours, if you like good tasting uncomplicated fruit.

Good transition from a Cabernet. Not my very favorite but definitely not bad.

Solid weekday pizza wine for the sub-$20 mindset.
