This wine is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (47%), Merlot (30%) and Syrah (23%) all sourced from family vineyards in Osoyoos and Penticton. It delivers enticing fruit aromas, intense sweet-toned fruit (although it's very dry), menthol spice, and a long finish.[National Wine Awards of Canada did not include a tasting note.] Score - 92. (National Wine Awards of Canada, 2025)
A veritable superstar in Canadian wine-growing, Cabernet Franc has proven to the world that Canada is the French variety's spiritual second home. Southern Okanagan bathes the grapes for this wine in piercing sunshine, making for a rich concoction that only gains flavour when aged in 25% new oak for 21 months. Expect notes of cherry pie and black tea accented by hints of vanilla and lavender. Drink tonight or cellar until 2029.
An intense, ripe, rich, complex Merlot, with concentrated black, red and blue fruit, plum, chocolate, oak spice, vanilla, and baking spice notes. Juicy and long. An ideal wine for braised duck and one that will continue to delight through 2027+.
