TASTING NOTES

Owners/ Vignerons son Sebastian has been making a barrel of wine since the age of 8. Now 12, Sebastian is releasing his very first wine under his own label “Atkins-Davis”. Nicknamed “Smerlot”, this medium-bodied wine, displays black fruits and tobacco. The Merlot fruit comes from the Steels Gate Melba Block, in Dixons Creek. Rich in tannin and good acidity ensures this wine will ages gracefully over the next 10+ years. (to be enjoyed at Sebastian’s 18th birthday :))
