British Columbia, CanadaThe 2012 vintage of Signature is sourced almost entirely from the Similkameen, including from Clos du Soleil's home vineyard. A blend of 48 percent cabernet sauvignon, 42 percent merlot, 9 percent cabernet franc, and one percent petit verdot, this was aged in French oak for 18 months, with 19 barrels making the grade for Signature. This has a classic nose of cedar, graphite, currant, and fresh herbs with underlying, integrated oak. Medium-bodied, it's quite fresh with well-managed tannins. It's showing some evolution, but it has at least 10+ years of life yet. A lovely expression of place and vintage.Tasted: 05 October 2019Tasted by: Prices:

British Columbia, CanadaThe 2012 Signature is a 48/42/9/1/ mix of cabernet sauvignon, merlot, cabernet franc and petit verdot that spends 18 months in French oak. A wonderful growing season has supercharged this red blend now one of the best in the province. Look for quiet aromatics of spicy black cherries, blueberries with a savoury note that penetrates the finish. Seamless tannins and silky textures seem to buoy the ripe fruit perfectly offset by notes of tobacco and dried herbs and the perfect tension of acidity. Terrific balance suggest this wine will improve for a decade in bottle. A fabulous Similkameen statement. T-bone steak anyone? 450 cases made.Tasted: 31 January 2015Tasted by: Prices:
