  Strict and tight. Intense, as usual, if not as intense at the core as other years; the vintage speaks. House style also, dry, vertical, stiff upper lip here, if you can think of a contradiction to Cambie.

  Pale to medium ruby. Almost transparent.
  
  Lavender, sage, juniper and orange zest. Vibrant raspberry strawberry fruit with some orange juice sensation. Slightly meaty midpalate. Finish with spice, bergamot and white pepper. Soft tannin salves the texture.
  
  Medium body, medium plus acidity. Medium texture.
  
  This vintage is lighter in body than usual. Nevertheless, the wine is quite elegant with vibrant red fruit, citrus layers of acidity, and floral/spicy nuances. It makes me focus.
