If you think Canada doesn’t produce nice reds, try this! Peppery, plums, rich, complex, sultry. I don’t know Bordeaux style blends well, but I know I enjoyed this wine.

This vintage is drinking well right now five years after vintage. No tightness. This is still all about the fruit too. Well done!
