Made from fruit of the Storm Haven Vineyards in Okanagan Falls and the SoleTerre Vineyard in Oliver, this red is a blend of Merlot (66%), Cabernet Franc (18%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (13%), which is named for an illustrious corner of the Le Mans raceing circut in France.
It is a fragrant mix of sweet red and black currents, peppery spice and plums, dark mocha and raspberry notes. It's very nicely balanced - it's juicy but retains its structure and focus. The finish is long with fine dry tannins and flavours of spiced cocoa.
Well done!
Pair with grilled meats, hearty stews or spaghetti Bolognese.
