Maybe the lightest and most delicate red you’ll taste in a year; like raspberry soda. Ethereal on the fruit front. Tannins in spades, flowing like Niagara, but fruity and juicy and like a lure: take another sip.
Without any heft, it’s a wash against substance. Try it as an aperitif or with nothing stronger than buffalo mozzarella or Gouda.
As a hot weather red, in the shad of vines spread across a pergola, probably divine. But in the middle of winter a novelty. Does not compare to their astounding Chardonnays.
Price: A rather hefty $38 at Kitsilano Wine Cellar.
Market Liquidity: Novelty makes a nice diversion, but that’s about the extent of it.
