When using their first oak barrels in 2019,<br />
four barrels were exclusively earmarked<br />
with Schatz’s estate-grown petite pearl<br />
grapes. Aged 1000+ days to develop<br />
intricate characteristics, this Reserve is an<br />
embodiment of “great things come to those<br />
who wait.” Pouring midnight nightshade<br />
dark purple, intense aromas of blackberry<br />
and wild blueberry waft from the glass.<br />
One can even pick out some burning dark<br />
chocolate. On the palate expect fresh wild<br />
black and blue fruit flavours with a spicy<br />
smoked black pepper note and campfire<br />
on the finish. Expect medium weight with<br />
light tannins and a fresh acidic note on the<br />
finish. Pair this courageous red wine with<br />
some beef tenderloin, roasted potatoes and<br />
some festive cheer.<br />

Big and bold, this wine starts with raisined red cherry<br />
but quickly moves into darker fruits: black berry, black<br />
cherry and plum. Chocolate, followed with faint notes of<br />
vanilla and nutmeg grace the palate. This wine is produced<br />
by hand selecting the finest fruit, then slow drying the<br />
grapes over a two-to-three-month period to further ripen<br />
and concentrate the grapes. The result is a wine of mindblowing<br />
depth, body and complexity.<br />
