Blackberry, plum, fresh sweet mint (subtle), dark forest fruit and a smidge of graphite. Velvety smooth, and really easy to drink. 2012 drink well in 2021. Beautiful. — 5 years ago

Bright ripe color, legs 7/10. Bright cherry and currant and vanilla on the nose. Smooth, supple taste, if a smidge sweet. Going to pair with something like spicy chicken next time. Will definitely buy again. — 6 years ago

Front loaded with viscosity and richness with a smidge of clove...it maintains tension and lift throughout. Lemon rind, honeysuckle and kiwi. 🍋 🍯 🥝 👌🏽 — 6 years ago

Revisiting. It actually did well with a smidge of age. Less saline more really ripe kumquat. I want this wine to be my best friend. Like we are both gonna change and mature but will always provide quality us-time to each other. Dang I’m worried Eight Cellars isn’t making wine anymore? Because I was able to buy 2014 Sauvignon Blanc in 2018... — 7 years ago

Plum and pomegranate. With a basement funk. But deliciously refreshing on a hot summer night. A smidge of tannin — 7 years ago

Not quite the Graham 1970 but still an excellent reminder of why good vintage port can be...very good. Lots of red fruit with perfect level of sweetness. Maybe a smidge hot at this time. But the acid is excellent and holds this all together. — 5 years ago

Oh baby!
Time alone is a wonderful thing.
12 months on since last taste, house is built, has become a home, baby son due in a few weeks and life is good.
This wine sums that up.
Cheers crew!!

Drinking nicely with a few hours of slow ox. Lemon, vanilla, wet stones, and a warm, juicy mouthfeel. Smidge of astringency too. — 7 years ago

This absolutely has to be the best Cab Sauv I've ever had!!!! I love a great fruit forward red. It's a smidge dry to me but 14.3 % ABV makes up for that. I'm currently pairing with some General Tso's and I'm in love!!!!! 💓 — 8 years ago

Fourth wine of the week. Very good second wine - 60 Cabernet / 40 Merlot from younger vines. Brambly blackberry, cranberry, olives with tobacco notes and a smidge of graphite. Tannins are ripe and smooth. Lacks the concentration and layered complexity of the grand vin, but still very good. 2016 vintage on April 19, 2020 — 6 years ago

Very interesting and delightful wine with lots of acidity. Light bodied but full of character. On the nose, I got lots of candied/baked yellow fruit and molasses and botrytis qualities, but it was surprisingly fresh and saline and slightly herbal on the palate. Baked apple, lemon pith, oregano, white pepper. It got more candied flavors as it warmed up and I can imagine that it’s lovely in a sweeter form as well. Just a smidge of effervescence. I could drink a lot of this. — 6 years ago

Super funky nose. Earth, moss, even a smidge of hard boiled egg. Not super sweet red fruit shines here after the first sip which frankly had me concerned it resembled grape juice. But then the true flavor profile was revealed and its complex enough mixture of raspberry, funky wood, herb and even a hint of dark chocolate at the end was rewarding. Steely but light tannic dry aftertaste was a pleaser too. Clean. Med light body and med acid. — 7 years ago

Blackberry, plums, oak, smidge of licorice. Everything really comes together with a smooth, long finish. I don't think I've ever had an Okanagan wine this old. I had the same bottle a few years ago, but I would have loved to compare with newer editions. Either way, I enjoyed this one more with the extra years, but maybe it was the Canucks good start. — 7 years ago

At last a wine that is not the remains of my Champagne weekend. It’s a smidge green and tannic. I wish I’d saved it for a few years. This is potent and interesting and I think I should have just given it at least three years. D’oh. Maybe a day or so of being open will help because the potential on this is huge given fruit, tannins and acid. — 7 years ago

A lot of the action here is the bouquet. On the palate the wine is solid, but less intense. Good melon and honeysuckle, with a smidge of sage. — 8 years ago
