Violets and vanilla under a blanket of red and black berries. Liquorice and cloves on the palate. Powerful tannins.

Movie and homemade pizza to accompany this delicious Okanagan red blend with a deep ruby colour and notes of black cherry, blackberry and hint of tobacco on the nose. A dry, robust palate follows with great acidity and hints of violet and lavender. A great wine that could have benefited with a few more years in the bottle, but nows the time to be going into the stockpile! Happy Easter @P A @Trixie 🐣🍷

Had at a restaurant tonight. Good, lovely cherry and vanilla. Not sure that I’d buy again but easy drinking and went well with our incredible meal at Cuchillo.

Full bodied with aromas of dark cherry and plum. Soft and ripe tannins. A mixture of Cab Sauvignon, Malbec and Carmenere leads to a unique blend that satisfies and will go with any steak or any other beef fat laden piece of meat..lol ..Give or a try.🍒🍷👍

Moon Curser makes some nice wines. Usually consistent and very drinkable

This blend hasn't had Cab Franc in it for a few vintages now (Delectable doesn't change a wine's name between years), but it's still a nice Bordeaux blend where black currant and cloves dominate. I normally like young blends as the tannins are usually still a bit wild, but this one has settled (a bit too much?) This wine is also a bit sour for my taste and missing any herbal notes. Is it hot? Not my thing, though I can appreciate that it's in a style that I'm just not a fan of.
