The 2013 Opus One is an absolute stunning release, and is certainly one of most impressive young wines I have ever tasted from this estate. This shows a darker, more forward profile from this warm vintage, and is clearly one to contemplate, as there are so many complexities and working parts to this compelling wine. This instantly impresses as it opens to intense aromatics of crème de cassis, black cherry, blackberry compote and black plum woven together with mocha, sandalwood. The mouthfeel is voluptuous and beautifully concenrated with deep and penetrating flavors of black cherry, créme de cassis, blackberry cobbler, anise, sage and anise, which all resonate beautifully across the palate. This is already extreamly appealing, but try to resist this hedonistic wine for at least another few years, as there is undoubtedly a long future ahead. Drink 2019-2035-99 — 7 years ago

The 2015 Eneo is a dark, powerful wine. Super-ripe black cherry, plum, chocolate, sage smoke and licorice add to the wine's brooding personality. The natural richness of the vintage has resulted in an unusually potent, masculine Eneo that plays off textural and flavor intensity, despite its mid-weight frame. Time in the glass brings out the wine's mid-palate pliancy and an extra kick of freshness that lifts the fruit beautifully. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, April 2018) — 8 years ago

Randy Dunn makes wine for your retirement and perhaps your grandkids. This 02 is just coming into it's elegance/groove. When you consider it's been in bottle for basically 12 years, it's still a pretty big wine. Tannins are resolving but still packs a palate punch. On the nose, it's a wild berry blend, baking spices and a mix of dry and fresh roses. The fruits start elegant transitioning to juicy & finishing with dry medium tannins. Blackberries, black cherries, black plum, raspberries with very ripe juicy strawberries painting the back palate. The mix of fruit is incredible. Baking spices of caramel & vanilla, just a touch of spice; allspice & light sage, black tea, dessert style dark minerals that finish with dry crushed rocks, graphite & eucalyptus. Followed by; raspberry cola and acidity that is just short of perfect. The finish pierces the mid palate with dark tannins. However, the mixed berry fruit finishes long, juicy to dry & with sheer beautiful elegance. The finish lasts & lasts. It's simply a guilty pleasure. I have two more bottles. I'll have one in 7 more years and the last in 15 years. Love to note the changes! That's the really enjoyable part of cellaring wine. — 9 years ago

Deep garnet color. Herbal nose of sage, green pepper and lead pencil backed up by sour cherries and dark fruit. Soft and plush palate, with the fruit shining through but ending with a more herbal and leathery finish. Hold. — 8 years ago

This full body, smooth and perfectly balanced Canadian Merlot is as good if not better than anything else you will find at its price point. It is proof positive that the Okanagan reds have come of age. Cheers 🇨🇦 — 10 years ago

Pretty Bordeaux. Pencil lead. Sage bright hues. Bit young will be better with a few more years under its belt. A little more richness would have made this wine better. Tannin was still a bit drying. — 10 years ago

It has a lot of brett. I think that's the horse poopish taste. It has a sage flavor that kicks in on the sip and then goes to the sawdusty bite. — 12 years ago
