Pleasantly surprised by this unusual blend for a rosé. Malbec and Montepulciano varietals present a nose with hints guava, and tropical flowers and clean minerality in the background. The palate has a bit of sour fruit qualities like papaya and a resting finish. — 10 days ago

Rich violet hue with elegant legs. Nose is smoke, cured meat, vegetal, with tobacco but densely sweet blackberry at the center. Invitingly lush warm and supple palate with some tobacco and stewed fruit. Very yummy. Paired with bbq cheese-burgers — a month ago

Surprisingly robust and fresh for a 2017. Aromas of baking spices, strawberries, hint of vanilla and subtle notes of oak. Flavours of strawberry, vanilla and spiced fruit cake with soft tannins and a vibrant acidity. Paired with roasted chicken thighs in a balsamic cherry sauce. — 4 days ago

My love affair with my favourite Canadian Rosé continues. Hints of apricot, strawberries and a dry minerality paired perfectly with a capellini pasta in a hot smoked salmon, cherry tomatoes and asparagus with crème fraiche sauce. Golden BC, cabin country. — 25 days ago

Deep violet hue, elegant legs. Nose has a rich floral bouquet of violets with spicy bramble berry perfume and a subtle hint of cherry nibs. Palate is outstanding for a 2016 (although probably has peaked) with flavours of dried fruit, prune, cedar and playful, well balanced tannins. — a month ago

Drinking beautifully. Elegant structure, silky tannins, slightly herbaceous complexity, some stewed fruit and chocolate. Paired with a grilled strip loin topped with our approximation of the famous French Tarragon sauce. Wonderful! — 17 days ago
