August 9, 2016 - 2011
Nose of blueberry, wisps of smoke, cocoa -- woodsy and loamy. Ripe palate with juicy blueberry, but supported by firm/silky tannin and earth. Rich loam, blueberry liqueur. Never fat, very medium bodied with bright acidity. Great balance of fruit/earth.
2012
Same as above, but a touch more fruit forward. Fresher and brighter, a bit less brooding. Loamy earthen flavors are a bit more herbal than woodsy. -

May 25, 2015 - PNP...inky violet in appearance...stewed black cherry and charred cedar waft from the glass with undertones of cured meats and five spice...big succulent saturating fruit on entry with great mouth feel that lifts nicely exhibiting more velvety layers through the mid-palate, eventually revealing spicy tannins and well-balanced acidity for such a young wine...the finish is long and cradled with a touch of char and heat that should dissipate over time...very unique and interesting wine in a grenache/syrah style if pushed for a comparison
received this from a sommelier at TF...haven't been able to locate this varietal from AB but it appears that this has a stellar QPR if you can find it...also leads me to believe i have been selling austrian red wines short
