Made in the style of a fine Port, this fortified wine, crafted from the Marquette grape, is a highly unusual treat, with an intoxicating nose of sweet raisin, currants, lavish spice, chocolate and cassis. It’s a touch hot on the palate but delivers a wonderfully intense experience with rich dark fruits, sweet spices and roasted nut flavours. A wine to enjoy on a cold winter’s night beside the fire.
This blend of 50% Merlot and equal parts of Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon dishes out a perfume of menthol, cherries, plums, licorice and vanilla. The texture is round, and significant tannins encompass the flavourful aftertaste. Drink it until 2018.
Deeply coloured, with a nose of black cherries and oak spice; full on the palate with well-extracted fruit; dry and firmly structured.
Polished, silky and complex, velvety at the edges, with a glowing core of bright cherry, raspberry, currant and dark plum-fruit surrounded by hints of earth, tea and a natural Okanagan savouriness. The texture is soft and the flavours pure as it all comes together on the long, gentle finish.
Light ruby colour with a minerally, cherry nose; elegant raspberry and cherry flavours, velvety on the palate with a dry, firm finish.
Fragrant Pinot Noir varietal fruit expression together with elegant floral and light biscuity overtones. Fruit is equally animated on the palate with initial sweet ripeness, then contrasting vibrant acidity and mineral grip, with slightly softening creaminess on the finish.
This appassimento blend of Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot won the best red blend category at this year’s Cuvée gala. Medium- to full-bodied, it is concentrated, churning out black pepper, cherries, earth, cassis and liquorice. Suave tannins complement everything.
