An Epic Summer Wine Weekend - Year 2; 6/30/2023-7/2/2023 (Muskoka, Ontario, Canada): This pours a gorgeous super light ruby in the glass. Overall there is an immediate impression of a lifted, floral, and elegant style and while not really all that complex, the profile is hugely appealing. The nose is of rose petals, red cherry, perfume, fresh rosemary, earthy tar, perfume, and black truffle. The palate enters on very pure red fruit also recalling some of the perfumey notes of the nose. It is youthfully structured with fine grained medium plus tannin and medium plus acid. The finish is clipped a touch by the youthful astringency. All in all this is super classic stuff. Really pretty, and very impressed with what I'm tasting here. Almost 93

QPR is a little low. Intensity, complexity, and body are medium. Maybe just needs a little more air, or time in the bottle. Otherwise a nice example of the style.

SLDS September 2022: Cherry, roses and a light touch to the nose. Clean palate, flows nicely and cuts through the fruit with strong acidity and finds balance. Always solid winemaking here.
