WineDiva's Review

Textural, modern, jammy.
This BC blend is finished in whisky barrels, which I take to mean it is aged for a short amount of time in old whisky barrels to add some of those characteristics and complexities to the finished wine.
It's a modern international style with sweet aromas of mocha and purple berries, vanilla, licorice and baking spices. It has some texture on the palate, jammy fruit and dusty tannins. The structure and acidity saves it from being too blousy.
