Medium tannins and acidity. Lovely vanilla and chocolate aromas as well as some dried fruits. Well worth the $30 from this newer okanagan winery. They recently lost about 85% of their vineyard due to a bad hailstorm. But I'm sure they will make it through because they have some fantastic wines. This one is a Bordeaux blend dominated by Merlot. Love it.

Big wine that needs some time to breath or maybe another 3-4 years in the bottle. Good wine tho from a new small winery in BC
