A hot dry year resulting in very ripe characters. One of the best growing seasons on record. Vanilla, butterscotch with a touch of minerality. Wonderful mouth feel, rich and viscous. The palate is spicy, vanilla and clove. Butterscotch and fruit balance the crisp acidity and warm alcohol. Drink now to 2016. $53/750mL; $106/magnum.

featuring an excerpt from
Your Wish is My Wish
by Sarah Slean

In my mind-storm I did carry you
Through the briars of disbelief
Through the woods of lethargy
Through a groaning dark so deep
I thought I died

In the fountain I did cool our feet
Under red and rainless skies
Singing ragged lullabies
Through the grief all advertised
In neon lights

Baby your wish is my wish
And I have only this 
From now on

Baby your wish is my wish
Keep on running to the door

I hear Beauty crying in her sleep
So I bend for one more kiss
All our tears will turn and twist
We make bliss to end all bliss
And all time

Baby your wish is my wish
And I have only this
From now on

Baby - your wish is my wish
Keep on running to the dawn
Running to the door...
Keep on running to the dawn
Sarah Slean’s passionate voice and cabaret style draw inevitable comparisons to the legendary French chanteuse Edith Piaf, but the multi-talented Toronto singer-songwriter is also an actress, a painter and a poet. At age 31, Slean has two Juno award nominations, two Gemini award nominations and recently released her fifth full-length album, The Baroness, inspired by a temporary relocation to Paris. She describes her time in the City of Lights as “poetica.”  Her apartment was so tiny, she says, she could touch her bed, her small white piano and her kitchen table – at the same time. “All that experience is writing itself in your soul,” says Slean.
