Silver Medal, 2023 National WineAlign Awards of Canada
The Download is our top cuvée that we only make in the best vintages, and in 2020 there was never a doubt. The hot, dry weather of the vintage allowed our late ripening red varieties the opportunity to shine. While still young and reserved, the potential of this wine is obvious. The nose is brimming with cassis, violet, licorice and oak spice. The palate is rich and round with fine tannins and a finish that goes on and on. Aged 18 months in French oak, bottled unfined and unfiltered, the Download 2020 should provide a decade of drinking enjoyment.
Composition: 65.5% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Merlot, 15.5% Petit Verdot.
