Smoky stewed plum, black cherry, and vanilla on the nose. Raspberries and herbs with a slightly bitter finish on the palate. Savoury and full bodied with a smooth tannin and pleasant acidity.

Nose of cherry, chocolate, vanilla, oak, and something I can only describe as 'purple Koolaid' in a pleasant way. Palate full of blackberry, black current, cooking herbs, and baking spice. Full bodied and well balanced, with a soft tannin and long pleasant finish that leans savoury.
Very good wine, really great value at under $20 CAD.

This is a very fruit forward and approachable, inexpensive, 'crowd pleaser' type wine - think BC's version of Apothic. Nose full of cherries, raspberries, and herbal tea. Juicy palate of ripe cherry and plum, and a touch of baking spice. Very soft tannin and bright acidity, but definitely off-dry.
