At first, cassis and cherry shine on the expressive and generous nose. But soon lovely notes of treebark, licorice, forestfloor and grilled bell-pepper add in.
Slightly slender and feminine on the mid-palate, this wine could use some more flesh and stuffing.
Wine definately scores on the nose! — 8 years ago
Nice rounded wine. Enjoyable sweetness with a smooth aftertaste. A little bit of spice and tartness. — 9 years ago
For the price point, this Big Dog can definitely hunt! Soft pepper and smooth tannins, slight black cherry make this a winner with Ferrero Rocher and House of Lies. — 10 years ago

Dark ruby red with a purplish hue. Good dark fruits on the nose with some forest floor and truffles. Light bell peppers in the finish. Moderate tannins (5.5/10) and medium bodied. Lots of soft dark fruits and damp leaves. Medium plus finish. Great restaurant wine and solid Sonoma Cabernet. Drink till 2022. — 9 years ago

A full bodied, smooth big red. Fruit aromas, layered with taste of currants, black wild cherries, hint of oak and tobacco leafs long muted tannins legs. One of the Okanagan’s best. Cheers 🍷🇨🇦 — 7 years ago
