Aromas of vanilla, clove, licorice, and mushroom. Flavours of cranberry, cherry, and raspberry. Has soft tannins and a long-lasting finish. It is light enough for salmon but complex enough to hold up to some richer meat including roast duck.

Growing conditions

Second from our certified organic Westbank Vineyard. The morning sun exposure brought maximum ripeness to grapes while the cool summer evenings maintained the vibrant acidity.
