Tasting Note

Aromas of cassis and raspberry coulis with fine cedar. Enticing and wonderfully open.

The palate is joyously fruited, the ripe red cherry and wild strawberry flavours finding a nice crunch and precision, lifted by fresh acids and framed by supple tannins. Full-bodied yet so approachable — this is drinkable from now.

89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Petit Verdot

The Vineyard

“The 2023 growing season unfolded at a moderate pace, shaped by generous rainfall. Spring temperatures were mild and a later-than-usual harvest rewarded patience.

Total rainfall from July 2022 through June 2023 reached 51 inches (historical average of 31 inches) replenishing soils and providing ample water reserves heading into the growing season.

Spring conditions led to a complete berry set. Veraison occurred roughly two weeks later than average, and the extended growing cycle allowed for even, gradual ripening and the development of depth and balance. An abundant harvest took place between October 7 and 18 under favourable weather conditions.”
