2016 vintage. Great vintage weather wise in Okanagan Valley. Long, dry September makes great hang time.
Deep, dark, shiny, plum red in the glass.
Aromas of ripe raspberries, black fruit, milk chocolate and underbrush. Savoury, spicy flavours of blue and black fruit and milk chocolate (love the Merlot) with a silky texture and well ingrained tannins. This wine is 14.9 % but carries it well on the finish. 44% Merlot, 21% Cab Franc, 16% Petit Verdot, 12% Cab Sauv and 7% Malbec. If you get the chance , try Painted Rock 100% Cabernet Franc. It’s impressive.
