Lots of fruit up-front, mostly cherry and maybe a little strawberry. A fair bit of oak and moderate tannins and alcohol. Quite enjoyable but I think it could stand more time in the bottle.

Good colour. Warm berry nose, lovely actually. Well balanced, light tannins, good acid, and a surprising amount of fruit. Very round, nice weight, smooth. Surprisingly good considering how much I was sure it wouldn't be age worthy.

Verticals of BC wines - Burrowing Owl Cab Sauv, Black Hills Nota Bene, Osoyoos Larsose Grand Vin (Sharon & Guy's): Plastic cork. Clear ruby core of moderate intensity. Clean nose of (mostly) sweet toasted oak with some cherry notes. Dry on the palate with moderate acidity, alcohol, body and mod+ chewy tannins. Lots of cherry and raw oak flavours - sawdust or oak staves?. Simple and boring - not a lot of room for development. Short finish of mostly oak and vanilla.
