Round and fleshy reds with a velvety texture, showing aromas of ripe plum, black cherry, cocoa and truffle notes with age. Supple tannins, generous alcohol, indulgent finish. Pillar of Libournais (Pomerol with Pétrus, Saint-Émilion with Cheval Blanc and Ausone) and signature of Super Tuscans, Italian Wales and Washington State. A cross of Cabernet Franc × Magdeleine Noire, France's most planted red variety.
Emerging wine region of British Columbia east of Vancouver, cool maritime climate with abundant rainfall tempered by the Pacific, organic silty soils. Pinot Noir is the signature red: precise and expressive with notes of cherry, raspberry, flowers, and a spiced touch, fine tannins. Spiced Pinot Gris and taut Chardonnay as whites. Cool-climate hybrids Bacchus, Siegerrebe, and Reichensteiner with aromatic notes of citrus, elderflower, and muscat.
