This Bordeaux-style blend of 43% Merlot, 34% Cabernet Sauvignon and 23% Cabernet Franc brings together Walla Walla power and the elegance of Nota Bene. 🍇 Tasting Notes Enticing aromas of black cherry, wild blackberry, dried herbs, graphite and delicate floral notes. The palate is rich and layered, with cassis, ripe plum, espresso, dark chocolate and savoury earthy undertones. Initially firm tannins soften beautifully with air, revealing the distinctive mineral character of The Rocks District and a long, structured finish. Aged for 18 months in French oak, 44% new. Just 1,567 cases produced. 🥩 Food Pairing: Roast beef is a natural match for the wine’s concentrated dark fruit and structured tannins. Decant while young or cellar for the next 10–15 years. 🏅 94 POINTS | BCWineTrends #BlackHillsWinery #NotaBene #HiatusCollection #WallaWallaWine #TheRocksDistrict #BCWineTrends #RedWineLovers #WineAndFood #RoastBeef #BordeauxBlend #WineTasting #CanadianWineLovers @blackhillswinery @josephinenhutte
