the taste

The nose has just a touch of dark chocolate mixed in with the very prevalent aromas of plum and cherry. The tannins are soft and fine-grained, and the wine has a long lingering finish of earthy goodness, leather, spice and a little smokey somethin-somethin. Great with Pork Tenderloin, or Poutine with Miso Gravy. Even better drink a glass while floating under the Port Mann Bridge in a boat. (See what we did there?)
