Drunk for dinner on Father's Day June 2016. Served with prime rib. Gorgeous wine. Notes of berry, chocolate etc etc. Wish we had more than one bottle. But I believe it was time to drink this one.

Three days in the Okanagan Valley; 6/18/2011-6/20/2011 (British Columbia, Canada): No formal notes. This was really nice; no oak on the nose, unlike some of the other Bordeaux blends we've had on this trip. This was really balanced quite well throughout. A proper Bordeaux blend, and even at 14.5% alcohol it wasn't noticeable. This was the best Bordeaux blend of the trip. I had thoughts to pick up a bottle, but at $40 there are much better values in the world.

Nice and complex nose of maple, toasted vanilla, mocha, blackberry and espresso grinds.
The palate is elegant but ripe with blackberry and blueberry coming through with vanilla laced soft tannins and a clean acidity through the finish.
