  Almost opaque but with a dark ruby hint on the edge. Swirls beautifully and sticks to the side of the glass. Dark cherry and vanilla nose with a hint of mint. Mouth feel says it all - this wine is at its prime I think, luscious, soft with a little bright edge. Lingering strawberry finish. Crying because this was one of one for me...

  Speechless, humbled and squirming with delight. One of our favourites (and we have two in our cellar) so we were excited when a dear friend brought over a bottle for dinner and cribbage. This wine is beguilingly good for a Canadian red or any New World region in fact. The Blind Creek fruit must be extraordinary quality. The aromatics burst out of the glass. Maturing dark red and black fruits (blackcurrants, mission figs, amarena cherries) with layers of seamless savoury elements (cocoa, tapenade, roast portobello, dried beef, espresso). All this breadth and depth continues on the palate. Medium-plus body. Long concentrated finish. Solid integration. One of the best wines of 2024 so far. Thanks K! PnPd no decant necessary, just be mindful of some sediment at the bottom.

  Full bodied but too juicy and unbalanced

  Part of a 5-bottle BYO @ Heron Rock. Virtually flawless. It was the least expensive and most expressive of the lot. It is unabashedly approachable and effortlessly smashable. Seamless in the bouquet and all pleasure on the palate. It’s a Canadian icon that is scarce (in quantity and retail availability) and fleeting (in successive ownership). AVM & Mark Anthony, take note, you are messing with hallowed ground (read: Blind Creek Vineyard) and should bring back this “Collective” label. It’s a special place.

  Medium ruby with some garnet hues setting in.
  Medium plus intensity aromas of cassis and red cherry.
  Dry, medium plus acidity, medium tannin with full body.
  High intensity cherry, blackberry and plum with a hint of vanilla and leather.
  Just a bit too much fruit for my liking but I believe that would be very appealing to a lot of people.
