Savoury, plush, lengthy.
The 5th Element red earth, wind, water, fire and wine is a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot picked from estate vineyards, Blind Creek in the Similkameen Valley and the Castle Vineyard on the Golden Mile.
Notes of green olives in brine, sage, smoked meat and charred spices are woven with wild black berries. The palate really supports this wine; is sweet and salty, plush and textural and has structure and balance in check. The finish is lengthy.
