| Community Tasting Notes (average 90.3 pts. and median of 90 pts. in 4 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Vino Loco on 10/2/2022 & rated 90 points: A solid BC cab at a relatively reasonable price point. Nicely integrated tannins, oak is in check - fruit shines through. The finish is short, but for what it is it’s a well made wine. (417 views) | | | Tasted by Vino Loco on 6/17/2021 & rated 90 points: Fantastic potential in this youthful Cabernet. On the lighter side, fresh nose. Plums and raspberry. Subtle tannins. This wine will be fantastic in another 3 to 5+ years. Their Syrah and Cab offer solid QPR. (402 views) |

| Burrowing Owl Producer WebsiteCabernet SauvignonCabernet Sauvignon is probably the most famous red wine grape variety on Earth. It is rivaled in this regard only by its Bordeaux stablemate Merlot, and its opposite number in Burgundy, Pinot Noir. From its origins in Bordeaux, Cabernet has successfully spread to almost every winegrowing country in the world. It is now the key grape variety in many first-rate New World wine regions, most notably Napa Valley, Coonawarra and Maipo Valley. Wherever they come from, Cabernet Sauvignon wines always seem to demonstrate a handful of common character traits: deep color, good tannin structure, moderate acidity and aromas of blackcurrant, tomato leaf, dark spices and cedarwood.
Used as frequently in blends as in varietal wines, Cabernet Sauvignon has a large number of common blending partners. Apart from the obvious Merlot and Cabernet Franc, the most prevalent of these are Malbec, Petit Verdot and Carmenere (the ingredients of a classic Bordeaux Blend), Shiraz (in Australia's favorite blend) and in Spain and South America, a Cabernet – Tempranillo blend is now commonplace. Even the bold Tannat-based wines of Madiran are now generally softened with Cabernet SauvignonCanadahttps://www.winegrowerscanada.ca/
