A very alluring IGT red that is dominated by Syrah and fleshed out with Cabernet Franc, Merlot And Petit Verdot.
The nose is rich and fragrant; roses, cherries, mocha, cedar chips, briary berries and vanilla are layered with smoke, licorice, bacon fat and sweet spices. The palate follows suit; plush earthy and powerful with cocoa, leather, fine spice, dark fruit and cigar.
Impressive weight, texture and length.
Part of a one time buy at BC Liquor Stores, so grab it now and pair it with roasted meats or aged, hard cheeses.
