Several years ago, winemaker Chris Tolley amazed our Platinum panel with his Carménère, so it makes sense that his dry expression with this Port variety would achieve Platinum, too. The extraction and tannin management achieved is remarkable as they make this jammy with blackberry, blueberry and plum tones. Add white pepper to the spice box, too. The combination explains why it would pair so well with a plate of cured meats. Qualifying awards: All Canadian Wine Championships (double gold), Wine Align National Wine Awards (gold)
