Origin: British Columbia, Canada

Blend: 73% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Franc, 7% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Syrah, 1% Petit Verdot/Malbec

Notes: A nose that shows both vibrant cassis, cranberry, raspberry, red plum and cherry alongside a floral violet note as well as sage and dried thyme. The palate is juicy, energetic and fresh with a medium body and medium tannin level and some intriguing layers of dark chocolate, cocoa, paprika, pepper and some graphite supporting the cherry, currant and mixed berry fruit. Pair this with spaghetti and meatballs or a lightly spiced white bean and tomato vegetarian stew.
