Redolent nose & finish of pomegranate, sour cherry, cranberry, bacon fat. Lovely, plush, tart mouth feel with nicely resolved sweet tannins. Ringer for a *good* Beaujolais Villages. At peak, with at least 5 years ahead of it. Wished I bought more.

Very nice. A poor mans Pinot Noir, very Burgandy-like. Earthy, spices, especially cinnamon. Mild tannins on the finish. Will look for more, good Qpr for BC wines.

Nice colour, good warm fruit nose, mid weight body, but the fruit is coming on a bit sour and a little unsettled. Somewhat more brash than the 2007 effort. But I think it'll settle in nicely. I'll wait a bit to give it another go.

This is my first taste of a very hard to get bottle - even harder to get than their Pinot Noir. Dark violet. Brooding dark berry nose with a hint of rhubarb. Full dark fruit entry, citrus and a hint of cinnamon. Somewhat dumb middle, smooth crisp finish with sweet tannins. Somewhat primal. Suggest holding off for a year. Decent QPR.

Drinking very well. Lots of ripe fruit with a long finish. Works with food but I like to drink it without food as well.

It is coming around and the goat nose has subsided, with a mellowing of the bing cherry. Went well with the cheese course.

Powerful pine, pomegranate, lemon nose. Fleshy entry consistent with nose ending with a hint of cinnamon.

Excellent easy drinking red wine. Drank before and during a meal of cedar plank salmon and it worked very well.

Light in body and flavour. Slightly unbalnced with an excess of acid, some might say bing cherry.
