Strawberry Jam, Raspberry Jam, Light Oak
BBQ, Tapas
My impression was that it smelled artificial and manufactured. A one dimensional juicy, jammy red upfront, with an oak driven tannic finish. Not the value find I thought it might have been. However, if you love-love-love value reds, I’ve had waaaaay worse, roll the dice on a cheap-de-la-cheap weekday pizza wine if that’s your game.

Starts a bit hot, really well combined flavours. Some words and terms really get people going. For instance “moist” and “mouth feel” make my brain skip a beat. This wine has a really great mouth feel from start to finish. Very lush! (add “lush” to the above list)
Notes of ripe cherry, blackberry, light-medium oak. Good structure and a great wine for an Italian dinner. starts off-dry but finishes dry with grippy tannins
Black Cherry, Strawberry Jam, Chocolate
Roasted Chicken, Sautéed Mushrooms, Poutine
When a wine delivers a text book example of the grape we sometimes call it “Correct”. This is a perfect example of new world Pinot Noir and is absolutely delicious. Lush juicy berries, jammy, hint of earth on the finish.
Black Cherry, Chocolate, Raspberry
Grilled Meats, Lasagna, Stews

Need a recommendation on bringing a bottle of wine to a dinner party? Look no further, this is the one.
If you want to taste the a nearly perfect text book definition of Cabernet Sauvignon get a bottle of this wine. I’m going throw out some traditional wine language then translate it. The wine is clean, correct, and integrated. Terrific mouth feel. Translated, no unexpected or unusual flavours. All the smells and tastes are working together. No lingering heat or flavours in the mouth.
I had to dock it a star because I found it a bit light in terms of weight. But, to the people who find Cabs overwhelming, this is a feature, not a bug.
Our earlier Bread & Butter Pinot Noir review was also a strong 4/5. We’re keeping our eye on this winery.
