Food pairing
Enjoy with 2 year old Canadian cheddar and Grana Padano cheese; beef tenderloin in rich red wine reduction, or topped with melted blue cheese or rich melted butter; grilled red meats (medium to medium-rare); rosemary lamb chops; pot roast.
Production
Loose crush, gentle but complete extraction of the fruit. Warm fermentation. Aged 13 months in American oak barrels.
Winery
The reds at Vanessa Vineyard in the Similkameen Valley grow in rows blasted out of the rock. The south-western exposure of the vineyard provides maximum sunlight and heat required to produce a wine brimming with ripe, fruit characters.
