  March 11, 2016 - Clear dark purple in color. Clean nose of black fruit and spice. Dry, med body, nice acidity, smooth tannins, great balance. Black current, spice, and nice minerality on palate. Nice finish. I wish I had bought more. Luckily bill continues to make great wines. This wine still has some years in it. Very excited about how BC wines age.

  January 22, 2013 - Fairly big Bordeaux blend with opulent fruit wrapped around a mineral core. You can have both! Structure provided by spiciness and acidity. Oak and tannins in the background. Day one had a dusty/savory nuance that faded by day two. Day three most of the fruit had fallen off. In a prime drinking window now. Surprised at the quality - never had a wine from this producer before. Score for day one.

  September 3, 2012 - Nice flavour with a taste of minerality. Not particularly complex with a moderate finish. Decent wine.
