Laughing stock and specifically portfolio remains one of my favourite BC wines. It’s composed of 45% Merlot, 25% Cab Sav, 22% Cab Franc, 7% Malbec, 1% petit Verdot. The 2012 vintage is still holding well. Dark plums, cherries, raspberries. medium earthiness, mild cigar box followed by red peppers spices, cloves and anise. It is just past it’s peak but still holding well. Should drink within the next year.

A great wine, superb by any standards, shockingly so for a Canadian wine. Small volume producer that sells almost all it's production in British Columbia. A blend with Merlot predominating. Caramel and fruit on the nose, complex on the palate with a long finish. Very elegant and balanced. Mild oak similar to a Washington state style. Gorgeous.

This wine has aged very well and so sad that it’s my last bottle. Berry forward, leather and coffee.
