Reviews and Ratings

Darlene Myers - CAPS Student rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

A gorgeous Shiraz Cabernet from one of my favorite Canadian vineyards. Dark fruits with a spicy herbal note. Nice tannins with a very satisfying vanilla oak finish.
Classic blackberry and black pepper of Shiraz is nicely complemented by pure cassis courtesy of Cabernet, all accented by woodsmoke and vanilla. Very dry, though bursting with ripe fruit flavours telling the tale of the warm 2010 vintage. Good length. This will evolve well in cellar for 2-3 years, or can be enjoyed tonight.

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.
