This wine is 100% Cabernet and aged 15 months in barrel. It pours a deep garnet purple in the glass and almost immediately cherries and blackberries leap out of the glass, with hints of mocha and butterscotch. The palate is bright and full of flavor, red and dark fruit surrounded by hints of chocolate, spices and again a hint of caramel. The finish is long and smooth. A real terrific effort from start to finish! The wine is drinking fabulous now, and should still be great five years from now. Enjoy on it's own, with cheeses, or a big juicy steak 30$ CAN

Light purple in the glass. Not a lot on the nose to decipher, but has some spice on the nose with a lingering finish.

Dark violet/purple color. Aromas of blueberry, black cherry/currants, tobacco and cocoa. Same fruits on the palate along with dark plums, black licorice, coffee and spicy oak. Long lasting note of dark chocolate on the extended earthy finish. Medium-plus bodied with reasonably smooth tannins for such a young wine. Opulent, bold and rich. It will interesting to see how this wine evolves over the next few years. Presented by Nick Goldschmidt, winemaker.

Delicious cherries, cocoa, and vanilla. Perfect on a cold January day.

A smooth dry and fruity wine with hints of blueberries, blackberries, vanilla and lightly smoked oak barrels. ;) Definitely a staple and great price!

Oct 27th, 2020Nice Cabernet for the money. Dark purple in color. Cherry nose. First sip had nice big flavor, then gave way to a softer finish. Fruit forward with cherry and plum.
