Tasting Notes
"Lifted black fruit flavours are both elegant and downright tasty! This is one of Canada's best Merlot producers, if not the best. Mouth-watering acidity makes this wine a fantastic food companion. The blend is 93% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc and 1% Syrah. The fruit is 100% estate-grown South Okanagan fruit from the Black Sage (Diamondback) and Golden Mile Bench vineyards. The wine was aged 18 months in new French and American oak. Oh la la!" 91 points - Natalie McLean, November 2, 2009
