Pop and pour. This wine was a positive surprise. Medium bodied with great fruit, blackberry and black raspberry flavours. Lots of mineral and spice notes. Balanced and beautiful. I think it will improve in the next 2-3 years, but it's enjoyable for now.

Elegant, fresh, forward, sweet and fruity, with a nice purity to its red berries, you can enjoy this for its elegant styling in its youth, or age it for more of its floral complexities.

An attractive garnet hue, this medium-bodied wine kicks off with the aromatics of roses, licorice, earth, espresso and crème de cassis. Freshness is first, followed by q sweet, berry-filled finish. Produced from a blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot, the wine reached 13% alcohol with a pH of 3.65. The harvest took place September 12 through September 30. This estate was lucky, only 5% of their vineyards were damaged due to the frost.
