Madcap is a red blend honouring the nickname given to former Fairview owner and founder, Bill Eggert, whose pursuit of big reds in the South Okanagan was originally viewed as a crazy endeavour. Soft, silky, layered delivery across the board. 

Nose black berry, black cherry, cassis and vanilla. Alcohol is well balanced and the tanins are sensational - long lasting and not agressive. An incredible wine for the price point.

The palate expresses black and blue fruits - black cherry, blackcurrant, blueberry - plus espresso, cocoa, tobacco and oak profile past the mid-palate. The finish is long and evolving with softness and complexity. 

16mo in 15% new French oak
