A blend of 47% Merlot, 34% Cabernet Sauvignon and 19% Cabernet Franc fruit from Harry's McWatter's Sundial Vineyards on the Black Sage Bench (near Oliver in the Okanagan Valley) and Fort Beren's Lillooet estate.
It offers black fruit, bittersweet chocolate, roasted spices, vanilla and leather atop savoury notes. It's a substantial wine with sweet plums, blackberry and vanilla with cocoa and spice trailing on the finish. Very good structure and persistence.
