On the nose it's simple dried raspberries... This gets juicier on the palate... Raspberry, black cherry, Italian prune, blueberry... The texture is smooth like powdery latex gloves... This isn't fancy-like, but tasty. — a day ago

Vanessa was a wine we've wanted to try for some time and New Year's Eve at Il Caminetto in Whistler was the perfect place to try this big Cabernet Franc paired with their beautiful holiday menu... On the nose, this was deep black cherry with a smokiness that invites you in... On the palate, that smokiness evolves into tobacco and woodiness that makes this very interesting along with the big black cherry base... This played very well with the bold flavors of the menu including game... Well worth trying. — a month ago

Green apple peel nose... On the palate, there's more apple and some white peach... Crisp, fresh, zippy, alive... — a month ago

Only a light nose here, but it's already hinting at savoriness... On the palate, it's plummy... Some dustiness... Not a lot of power here, but pleasant... — 7 days ago

Again the 21B... This vintage is very soft tasting it 4+ years after vintage... Lime and yellow apple on the nose, but the palate brings more lime and crunchier apple softened with minerality... A good one. — 18 days ago

Red cherry nose... Maybe strawberry... On the palate, that red fruit is all over... I wasn't sure about another note I was getting, but reading the bottle it mentioned cinnamon... Yes! That's it! Certainly not a big body here, but interesting. — a month ago

From our sit-down at the winery this past summer, this was a standout. A nose of cantaloupe, grapefruit, and pear... On the palate, for me, it's the pear that comes to the front alongside some minerality and subtle grapefruit... The texture is interesting with a beautiful roundness though still zippy... Herbal notes coming through on the finish... This was a great pairing for Japanese panko fried chicken... I really enjoyed this wine. — a month ago

The nose here is cherry liqueur... On the palate, more rich cherry flavors along with powdered dark chocolate... Quite tasty, but at the same time simple and maybe a bit hot on the finish. — 11 days ago

The nose here is so sultana and Ribena black current... On the palate, the black current is everywhere... A funny secondary flavor here too though... I'd call it almost pool chlorine... I don't know what to make of this one... It's interesting for sure, but for me, not in a good way. — 24 days ago

A nose that predicts strength... Pronounced cherry and savory sausage roll nose... On the palate, subdued raspberry, cherry jam, and more of those savory notes... I paired with chicken liver pate and a beautiful duck breast... This wine's earthy-savory themes really shone through here. Brilliant. — a month ago
