Intriguing aromas of spice, tobacco, and meat with flavours of cherry, cranberry, spice and smoke, firm tannins and a touch of acidity. Lean, but firm with a savoury finish. Try with grilled pork. (GB - Tidings, September 2010)
Warm aromas of mocha, black berry, spice, pepper, coffee, and vanilla with hints of barnyard. Full, flavours of cassis, spice and coffee with a firm, but fresh structure and nice balance. Misleading as it seems "light" at first, but has good underlying structure. Kept getting better even after being open for a few days on the counter. (GB - Tidings, September 2010)
Ripe and spicy aromas and flavours of blackberries and plums with the characteristic southern Okanagan savouriness. Lovely texture, round and easy to drink. (GB - Tidings, September 2010)
