Impressive, slick, expressive.
One of the Von Mandl Family Estates (VMF) portfolio, which includes in part, Mission Hill, CedarCreek, and Checkmate The Martin's Lane is named for Anthony Von Mandl's father, Dr. Martin Von Mandl. An enticing combination of sweet and spicy, with notes of violets and rainforest floor, botanical, raspberry and blueberries, with cherry jam spiked with star anise. Supple with expressive fruits, it is vibrant with toasted oak undertones. The finish is lengthy with cedar and spice flavours encompassed by sweet tannins.
