Dominant Syrah (85%), judicious Mourvedre (12%) and a splash of Grenache (3%). Complex violets, blackberry and charcuterie aromas. Concentrated blueberry, black plum and sage flavours. Juicy acidity balance taut tannins. Smoked bacon lingers on the peppery finish. Pairs well with lamb tangine.
A highly aromatic blend of Zinfandel and Shiraz that shows mulled plums, blackberry, roasted coffee bean and a range of spices on the nose. It has firm tannic structure, dark fruits, mocha, arabica coffee, tar and spice. This is a dark and flavourful wine that can cellar for 5 years or more.
From one of Ontario’s best red wine vintages ever comes this singular blend of 57% Cabernet Sauvignon and 43% Syrah. Dark coloured; the complex nose of cassis, vanilla, herbs, smoke, black cherry, black olive and violets carry over to the palate where the tannins add support. Long finish. Drink now to 2021.
A great surprise from a cool vintage. Clocking in with a natural alcohol of 14.5%, this Gamay resembles a Cru Beaujolais with its plum, boysenberry, raspberry, strawberry and pepper personality. Suave tannins, fresh acid and a long aftertaste complete the package. Charcuterie was made for this wine.
This has a bright, joyous nose of black cherry, plums, savoury herbs, raspberry and bramble. There is interesting depth to this Gamay with cherry, yes, but also some spicy/peppery notes and structural tannins.
Fragrant nose features violets, red berry and herbal nuances. Fresh acidity, fine tannins and a medium body deliver juicy flavours of black cherry, red plum with hints of dried thyme. Tangy, palate-cleansing finish. Pairs nicely with smoked meats.
This blend of Marechal Foch, Merlot and Cabernet Franc from both Vancouver Island and the Okanagan delivers surprising depth and finesse. Red and black fruit up front with cassis and vanilla on the palate, supported by well-managed oak. Let it sit in a big glass and you’ll be surprised.
