A fun, festive red sparkler that's crimson-purple in colour with aromas of plum, raspberry and spice, refreshing, rich flavours of cherry and plum with a touch of fresh herbs, minerality, firm tannins and an uplifted acidity on the finish. Chambourcin is the grape varietal, but a small amount of fortified Shiraz was added, which contributes to the funky uniqueness of the wine. (GB - Tidings, January 2012)
Fresh and lively with melon, citrus, and peach notes. Clean and bright with a lingering finish. Good as an aperitif, with an assortment of hors d'oeuvres, or as an easy sipper. (GB - Tidings, July 2009)
Beautifully crafted, ripe, rich, supple, elegant and balanced, showing fleshy plum, blueberry and blackberry flavours that are pure and focused, with firm tannins, a touch of earth, ending with a nice minerally edge that offers even greater depth. Will continue to develop over the next five years. (GB - Tidings, January 2011)
Dark, round and full with rich flavours of cherry, blackberries, and currants, hints of earth and cocoa, velvety tannins and a pleasing mineral quality on the full finish. (GB - Tidings, November 2011)
Aromas of pepper, bright blackberries and raspberries with hints of spice. Elegant, yet concentrated flavours of black cherries and blackberries, hints of spice and earth with good complexity, gentle tannins and a great freshness on the long lasting finish. Despite its elegance and delicacy, the wine possesses a great underlying structure which should allow for it to continue to develop and evolve over the next 3-5 years. Quite versatile when pairing with food matching with everything from a nicely prepared piece of Alberta beef to bison to duck ragu to hard cheeses. (GB - Tidings, September 2011)
