“The Arbalest” A Kimberly Jones Selection

This wine is made by rock star winemaker Benoit Touquette (Realm, Kata, Fait Main, Teeter Totter) and we were blown away the first time that we tried it. It is now in Alberta and over delivers in every way!

. They are getting some real premium fruit in Bordeaux and have made a fantastic wine! It is more classic than a Napa red wine and shows great minerality that is typically found in Bordeaux, but is much more fruit driven and silky smooth than most of the old school Bordeaux wines. This epitomizes old world meeting new world in one exciting wine! It is a right bank Bordeaux, meaning it is mostly Merlot with Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot balancing it out The fruit is dark and deep, fruit forward with a delectable juicy component up front, followed by hints of cedar spice and truffles, with that tell tale mineral note. The tannins are silky and smooth and again, this wine tastes far above it’s price point! This wine is delicious on it’s own, but even better with aged cheese, charcuterie, pork tenderloin or steak! Delicious!
