July 10, 2020 - One of the best BC cabernet sauvignon's I have tasted. Blind tasted beside two other BC cabs and this was the clear winner. Good dark fruit. Very smooth. Oak is present, but not overbearing. Very good deal for the price.

March 1, 2020 - Classic cab sav nose of currants, blueberry reduction, oak. Powerful nose. Wow. Still mildly astringent in the mouth, big oak, sour cherries but a finish that goes on and on and makes the mouth water. I really didn't expect much from this and am glad I held on as long as I did because I think this would be better in a few more years.
PS: After four hours of being open, it's beautiful. Hard to believe it was less than $40. This is drinking like an $80 plus bottle. Heavenly. The tannic streak is gone. It's velvet.
