Nose & Palate are still strawberry dominant, mostly dehydrated version, yet still lively fruit on the palate. Five years past vintage (inaugural release vintage) and it's not losing much to be honest.
Prior notes still mostly apply.
The wine is 100% DeChaunac, a more common varietal for colder climates, like Ontario; fruit is sourced locally (FLX region) from Sheldrake Point.

Dec 30th, 2021Getting some air now on this bottle, so notes soon.
I spent way too much time mowing my lawn today, so time to relax in our low 80° temps today.
Holy moly, the color on this wine is crazy, they got a lot of extraction from the skins for sure. Light ruby, like a flawless stone you can see right through.
Nose is interesting with heavy strawberry and light banana notes.
Palate is very fruity, strawberry really dominates. First harvest strawberry, where the sweetness is still restrained, second harvest is always the most generous on flavor. Also faint tart cherry, fresh not dried, now showing with more air and warming of the wine.
This can easily become a staple rosé in our house, wow great bottle. Now I have to see if I can get more '16. This was their inaugural release, we acquired last Fall, BB has already moved on to '17.
