June 15, 2020 - This vintage is very Bordeaux like on the nose and palate. Aromas of cherry, tobacco, clay, cedar, baking spice. The palate is fresh blackberry, olive, unsmoked cigar. Good tannins and acid right now. Much different than more recent vintages I’ve had.

August 23, 2015 - I really enjoyed this. It had a fruity nose to it and I thought I wouldn't enjoy it as much, but had a real nice finish. Definitely a Merlot I plan to go back to.

November 28, 2014 - Popped and poured. Dark purple color. Big nose of cassis, blueberry, vanilla, toasted oak and some mocha. A touch of heat coming through on the nose as well. Similar flavors on the palate with blueberry pie flavors joined with a touch of pepper and some charred oak and dark chocolate flavors on the back end. Medium tannins with low to medium acidity. A very tasty wine to sip on after a meal. Paired very well with high cacao dark chocolate.

August 18, 2014 - Big and bold merlot. Chewy, dark fruit - think cherry lozenges. Bouquet of honey, vanilla and gentle notes of rosemary. Rounded and smooth, medium tannins, ready to drink.

May 17, 2014 - - Garnet color with medium forming legs and aromas of butterscotch, strawberry jam, rose and tea. It's somewhat balanced and has flavours of oak and dusty with a medium/full body. Satin-Like texture with a medium finish.
