Note: I publish batches of reviews that I call Good Values Wine Picks. These are from the regular section of the liquor store rather than the Vintages section, and tend to be lower priced and the most widely available of all wines. The last four reviews I did were: March 7, January 4, December 16 and November 20.

Tasting note:

A gorgeously rich, full-bodied red loaded with aromas of black raspberries, dried herbs and dark spices. Lovely fine tannins thread their way through this wine, giving it excellent structure and textural richness. Needs at least 10 years aging. Decant 1-2 hours. Smooth and elegant. Fabulous!

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:

GOLD - Canadian Wine Awards 2009 Lifted aromas of black raspberries, wild herbs and dark chocolate define the intense character of this exciting new blend. The palate is rich and savoury with flavours reminiscent of dried herbs, toasty oak and dark red fruits layered over silky, fine-grained tannins, finishing with great length and depth of flavour.
