September 14, 2016 - Nose is fresh with red fruits and a hint of banana. Flavour is red cherry with a strawberry finish. Fruit forward and almost flowery, but there's a hint of earth in the finish.

January 3, 2016 - Undeveloped colour.
Really interesting nose of cassis and hint of leather.
Blackcurrant/cassis hits first followed by drying slightly chewy tannins suggesting need for food.
Food softened the wine up a lot and a slight lack of acid made it smooth and less intense on palate than solo tasting (Venison Rack).
A good BC Cabernet (which is rare). Would take some extra aging *2-3 years) but not too much as doesnt have acid for a ten year life.
Better than Hester Creek Franc which followed. -

November 15, 2015 - Quite a tasty BC cab sauv. The description on the back is very apt, notes of black currant, plum, sage, leather, chocolate, and just a bit of smoke. Nice rich tannins, balanced acidity, and decent length.
