Opens with a waft of smoky mesquite, cedar and roasted coffee-bean aromas. Wild blueberry and raspberry flavours take charge, along with lingering chocolate cherry. The characteristic “foxy” note of hybrid grapes peeks through, so go crazy with marinating your grilled meat.
The estate fruit yields a Marechal Foch–dominant blend with splashes of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Blueberry predominates, accompanied by notes of blackcurrant and plum. The juicy palate enlivens the soft texture and gives way to a peppery finish. Stands up to barbecued pork back ribs.
Select Marechal Foch (66%) and Foch/Cab Sauv (34%) were blended together in this warm vintage year. Scents of raspberry bush and wildfire smokiness bolt from the glass. Intense flavours ensue: blueberry pie, plum pudding, chocolate cake and Christmas spices. Finishes with clove, pepper and cedar. Hearty stew please.
Fresh, juicy and bright characteristics throughout reflect the style for this region. Fragrant scents of fresh herbs, violets, wild raspberry and black cherries. The light-bodied palate accentuates flavours of tangy strawberry and tart cherry, but finishes with lingering pepper. Superb with smoked salmon.
Aged 10 months in Canadian and American oak, this one shows developed cherry fruit with fine cinnamon and clove on the nose. The pure cherry theme continues to play in the mouth with dry tannins and a splash of chocolate on the very dry finish. Better with 3 to 5 years’ additional cellaring.
This Pinot is more Beaune in style, due to the softer style and red berry-fruit qualities: cherries and raspberries. Add the flowers, cocoa, plums, very good length and supple tannins, and what you have is a real flatterer of a wine.
This cool vintage brings out freshness, juicy acidity and red fruit character. The 10-month barriques aging infuses spicy warmth and a fine tannic structure. Enjoy fragrant aromas and bright flavours of cherry, plum, sassafras and toasty spice. It’s well balanced with a long mineral-driven finish. Classic choice with duck.
