Reviews and Ratings

Douglas McMillan rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Blackberry, raspberry, and a touch of blueberry in the aroma, as well as a little vanilla and baking spices. Juicy in the mouth with medium tannins and acidity. The flavour is again raspberry and blackberry. It's just the right juiciness, tannins, and acidity for a nice juicy barbecued burger. We really don't get enough BC wines here in Ontario.
Julian Park rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

The Merlot and Cab Franc blend is juicy, savoury and full-bodied. Aroma of blackberry and raspberry with a hint of vanilla and spice. The flavour is plum, raspberry and blackberry. The smooth tannins and acidity go well with spicy Pizza.
"WhyNot" Red is a Merlot and Cab Franc blend. Its smooth and medium bodied qualities makes this wine great for casual get togethers. This wine will impress the new wine drinkers as well as the experts.
