April 26, 2022 - Drank over three days (how could I even) and what a treat. A really nice Cab Franc, not overly greenish. Just the right balance.
Have to buy more 🤗 -

December 3, 2020 - This certified organic red clocking in at 14% alcohol did not disappoint. Huge notes of dark berries and vanilla ending on a tannic and monster finish. Way too young, give it a few years to soften and drink by 2035. Impressive for $30 CAD.

August 23, 2020 - No in depth notes. Dark berries such as blackberries and black currant. Ethereal nose of olives, herbs and smoke. The palate is pretty smooth with juicy tannins and a green pepper finish. Solid.

July 26, 2020 - Doft av blöt skog och hintar av bär. I munnen känner jag anis, lingon, körsbär, enbär, murken blöt ek, körsbär, mörk choklad och täta tanniner. Utvecklingspotentialen är stor och vinet behöver mycket luft om det ska drickas redan nu. Ytterligare en suverän årgång av ett av de mest prisvärda viner jag känner till.
