The early days of CedarCreek were dominated by this proprietory blend which then was based mostly on hybrid grapes. Twenty years later only premium vinifera fruit comes through our cellar doors. As a result we have elevated this very affordable blend which now consists of primarily Merlot and Pinot Noir. All our winemaking decisions get the same attention to detail as the Proprietor’s Red does. And the results show in every bottle. On that, you have our word.
WINEMAKER'S NOTES
An excellent value blended BC VQA wine which reflects our commitment to over-deliver regarding quality, structure and style at a great price.
TASTING NOTES
An enticing wine, deep ruby red in colour, showing rich red currant fruits laced with spice and ginger notes – a fantastic medium to full bodied wine.
CULINARY NOTES
Blended specifically to be a versatile food pairing wine. Burgers and pasta dishes never tasted so good with this wine.
