Signature, 2019

42% Merlot, 31% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Malbec, 10% Cabernet Franc, 4% Petit Verdot

Signature is our flagship blend of red Bordeaux varieties, produced by hand, and aged for 16 months in French oak barrels. The 2019 vintage is the product of a warm growing season followed by a cooler autumn ripening, leading to a very classically styled vintage of this iconic wine.

The taster is enveloped in heady aromas of fresh raspberries and blackberries, and herbal notes of sagebrush and mint, buoyed up by delicate floral notes of rose and violet. On the palate the wine is layered with flavours of black cherry, raspberry, cassis, mint and blackberry, with complex notes of graphite and iron. The structure is full, with polished but mouth-filling tannins and a long lingering finish. Enjoyable in its youth, the balance and structure of this wine will ensure its ability to age for many years.

Recommended food pairings: Pair the Signature boldly, steak au poivre, beef wellington, Alberta grass-fed bison served with spring onions and a bacon sabayon, or try an herb crusted grilled tenderloin in a red-wine reduction.
