  March 20, 2022 - No formal note. Nice wine, but at its present price point not worth buying.

  April 13, 2019 - Unmemorable fruity merlot. Insanely overpriced. Maybe it needs a decade more of age on it, but even then will not compete with Nota Bene or a Californian that’s half the price.

  October 6, 2018 - Surprised how harsh the scoring on this one. I'd say it's the best red wine I've had from Canada and it actually surprised me on how good it was. Not a 'great' wine necessarily, but very drinkable. Certainly expensive and I'm not sure that for the price tag you couldn't find some better wines from other regions, but it's also a lot cheaper than the 'top wine' from those other regions. It's a clear bordeaux blend. Young and tight. We opened and decanted and I would say it didn't start getting good until it had been in there for maybe 2 hours. Then there was the fruit and the leather and hint of cigar. I liked it.
