Savour notes of sweet red fruit, red cherries, and bright summer strawberries. As this wine opens up, enjoy this medium-bodied wine with fresh acidity, a lingering back palate, and a long finish.
In 1862, John Calbreath brought camels to Lillooet to carry the heavy loads along the trails during the Gold Rush. Although he lost his camels and a small fortune, his pioneering spirit inspired us to champion a new wine region and build a winery in Lillooet. This fruit-forward and expressive red blend features delightful notes of cherry and blackberry.
