Opinions about wine differ greatly as the experience is subjective. You may find it helpful to compare this critical evaluation of the wine with mine as well as your own:
Jason Solanki rated this wine as 86/100 with the following review:

Screw-top. Made from Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, and Merlot and hint of Gamay Noir. Bright red fruit aromas turn to dark fruit as it warms up in the glass (this was pulled directly from the cellar and opened). Dark berries, blackberry aromas with hints of oak. Blackberry with hints of licorice and spice on the palate. Light- to medium-bodied with ripe fruit and tannins, this is a smooth and easy drinking red that is ready to drink now. Enjoyed with vegetable spinach lasagna. Tasted Jan/2012.
Travis Oke rated this wine as 85/100 with the following review:

A real blend of heritage grapes with some Gamay and Pinot Noir thrown in. It is close to being too sweet and close to being as light as nouveau but it was delicious with roast veg and roast chicken. Predominantly raspberry flavours.
Olivier St-Hilaire reviewed this wine as follows:

lile home made wine
This wine is smooth and easy drinking. It’s full of blackberry and raspberry flavours with just a hint of spice. It was aged in French oak barrels just long enough to bring all the elements together. All the grapes were grown on our vineyards using sustainable agricultural methods.
