A stunning red wine from the Okanagan Valley. This blend of Cabernet Sauvignon 56%, Cabernet Franc 12%, Merlot 28% and Malbec 4% grapes delivers so much pleasure on the nose, palate and finish. Aromas of fleshy ripe plums and toasty oak. Decant 1 hour and pair with rare steak.

Reviews and Ratings

Deborah Podurgiel - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 93/100 with the following review:

Amazing… that’s all I’ve got. This is a full-bodied, muscular, spot-on balanced 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Franc and 4% Malbec classic Bordeaux-style, red blend from Cassini Cellars. Rich and intense on the palate mirroring its nose of juicy black currant, black pepper, strawberry fruit leather, vanilla, cocoa and sweet dried tobacco leaf never more prevalent than what I’ve tasted on this wine. Dry, savoury and mouth-filling finishing long with well-integrated oak spice, balanced acidity and fine-grained, rich tannins. Pour with grilled lamb, venison or beef. We Poured it with venison roulades. Tasted January 2021.
Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

Full flavoured! This blend from the Golden Mile Bench in Okanagan, BC is comprised of 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Franc and 4% Malbec. Lots of plum, red currant, black cherry, and warm toasty oak notes on the nose. Full bodied, balanced and structured tannins, and nice rounded fruit on the palate, with a lengthy finish. This is a lovely wine, perfect for grilled steak on the grill in the summer or prime rib in cooler months. Enjoy!
