Consistently good wine, regardless of the vintage. Sure, some years you get better value (11 year old wine available this year vs 14 year old wine last), but it’s still $32, even after all these years. Complex. Leather. Tobacco. Oak. Some dark fruit. Give this some time to open up and *chefs kiss*

Vanilla is known as ‘the salt of the baking world’ and this wine embodies that. Velvety smooth vanilla, maybe black cherry or Concord grape, peppercorn, tea leaf. I was skeptical at first finding an 11 year old wine in 2021 that had bottle gimmicks like fake gold wire, but is worth the 30$CAD if you can find it!

Dark red fruit, spice, and American oak. Luscious and vibrant, medium tannins, medium alcohol, and high acid. Great value wine.

Tasted at the winery, they are going through a renovation of the visitor center. Kindly, we were greeted and offered to taste the 2010. Color mild intensity, medium body, a little watery. Nose with cherry fruit notes. Palate not dense, tanins still need to rest.

Not the most expressive nose—iron, red meat. Medium palate; bright cherry, leather, spice. Balanced acid. Prefer LdH rusticity but this is a solid buy and well worth laying down.
