The grapes for this small batch wine come from Four Mile Creek VQA sub-appellation, where rich sedimentary soils bring great depth to the fruit.
The long growing season challenged and extended hang-time while improving maturity profile in the grapes. Hand harvested and hand sorted, then wild-fermented, this elegant red shows a diverse range of aromas and flavours ranging from herbal to red fruits, to cedar and dry leaves.
Single Vineyard. Vegan Friendly.
Wild fermented and aged in French oak barrels for 33 months.

This cabernet sauvignon led blend also includes cab franc and 10% merlot. It was aged a very long 33 months in French oak, which shows up as considerable vanillin and wood spice on the nose. There is some blackcurrant/raspberry fruit, fresh herbs and violet as well. It is mid-weight, fairly tender, even and warm (14% abv) with firm, drying but well integrated tannin. The length is very good to excellent. I would age this another three years. Last tasted April 2024
