Harmonious, smooth, woven.
All the fruit for this wine (Merlot 67%, Cabernet Franc 33%) comes from the Fort Berens estate vineyard in the Fraser Canyon, in Lillooet. The components are fermented and aged in French oak barrels. The top three barrels were selected for the Red Gold.
Notes of blackberry and chocolate, espresso and leather, salted licorice and balsamic along with brown spices and cedar. Fresh, harmonious and woven. The finish is long and smooth.
