WineDiva's Review

Savoury, brooding, evolved.
A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (55%), Merlot (30%) and Cabernet Franc (15%) combines fruit harvested from the estet in Lillooet and sourced grapes from the Similkameen Valley.
Expect a potent nose with some evolved notes of prune and raisins, which are layered with cassis, baking spices, and vanilla. The fruit is restrained on the palate and it presents more maturity than expected. Brooding and earthy yet plush, it presents bittersweet cocoa, espresso, tobacco and savoury spiced flavours.


 
Recommended Pairings
Rich Meats , Barbeque, Cheese - Semi Hard / Medium
