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 🇨🇦 — 9 years ago

Smells delicious. Wild berries, blue fruits, ripe boysenberry, sage, so much sage and a hint of lavender. Supple tannin, medium bodied but full of intent. Good going. — 9 years ago

Catching up from last night. Hosted a ton of family for a traditional Sicilian Seven Fishes dinner; needed to tear through something consistent and crowd pleasing, so had these two on tap. The Chard showed well; Meyer lemons and almond paste. However for me, I was digging the SB to wash down course after course of seafood. — 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. — 8 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. — 11 years ago
