Spicy plum, black cherry and cedar on the nose. The mouthfeel is round and smooth, awakening the palate to flavours of raspberry, blackberry, black currant and dark chocolate.

Winemaker's Notes
Guilty Men is a red blend made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Gamay and Cabernet Franc. This unorthodox blend was originally conceived as a juicy, big, traditional Bordeaux-styled red, but we were compelled to add Pinot Noir and Gamay as well, to give the wine more breadth of fruit and complexity. Hand harvested, each variety was fermented separately in stainless steel and oak. Each small lot was then aged in French and American oak for an average of 7 months. Many trials were conducted prior to the final blend of 35% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, 15% Pinot Noir, 11% Gamay and 4% Cabernet Franc.
Food Pairings
A versatile food wine equally at home with casual pasta dishes, grilled meats and gourmet pizzas.
