February 19, 2013 - Very nice cab from BC. Strong tannins, good fruit, nicely balanced with oak. Compares well with an entry level Napa cab; still a ways to go to run with the big boys. Tough varietal for BC, but this performs well.

October 21, 2012 - Day 1:
Big Fruit sweetness coming across initally, touch of floral notes the other thing I get a lot of it a darkness coming across as over extracted and drying in a sense on the finish
Day2:
That over extracted flavour seemed to have disappated a lot still lingereing but more red fruit Red Blackberries, zesty, Dark Cassis meets Blackberry meets Raspberry -

Conc: Drink now in my opinion -
