"Also from the Diamondback Vineyard, the nose shows black cherries, mocha, currants, plums and elegant oak spices. It’s rich and layered on the palate with lovely texture that complements the intense red fruits, plums and toasted oak spice notes. Smooth tannins, licorice and a long finish complete this wine - 91 points" - Rick Vansickle, October 2016.

"The wine begins with a medley of tropical fruit aromas including lychee, mango and peach. The palate is juicy, with a touch of residual sweetness to lift all the tropical fruit flavours" - John Schreiner, May 2016.

"Consistently one of Canada's best gews, and one of the best values in the province. This year the heated 2015 vintage has upped the weightiness of this heady grape, further expanding its waistline. Fortunately, twenty-one year old vines know how to handle Mother Nature, and this, though bigger than 2014, holds a fine line of limey acidity well. Ample gingersnap spicing brings some heat to the concentrated gooseberry, lychee, freesia and peach on the round, silken palate. Perfumed rosewater lingers on the lengthy finish" - Treve Ring, June 2016.
