| Description |
| Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot work together to create a wine that exhibits plush fruit supported by tannins depth with elegance, suppleness and structure tannins and demands a complimenting food while a wine with greater than 4 years of age will begin to deliver nuances of flavour, texture and length that can only be achieved by making the wine in this traditional style. |

| 2006 Cabernet Merlot Reserve |
| submitted by: David Lawrason |
The 2006 vintage struggles in the shadow of the hyped 2007s. This is really quite charming. Now showing a bit of maturity it has a complex nose of smoke, herbs, tobacco and currant-cranberry fruit. Mid-weight, nicely harmonized and fairly soft on the palate, with some sweetness. Very good to excellent length. Now to 2012
