Perseus Invictus 2012

Vineyard:
Invictus (Latin for “unconquerable”) is a blend of wines from grapes grown on several sites. Our 2012 blend was farmed at Blind Creek Vineyard, Saddle Ridge Vineyard, Monarch Vineyard, and Inkameep Vineyard.

Varietal:
58% Cabernet Franc, 21% Merlot, 19% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Malbec

Winemaking:
Invictus is our flagship blend and is the culmination of our finest barrels arduously selected in the winery. It boasts classic structure, depth, and complexity.

Taste:
Inspired by the ‘Grande Vin’ of Bordeaux’s Right Bank, our 2012 Invictus showcases the true potential that Cabernet Franc can achieve here in the South Okanagan. This wine bursts out of the bottle with concentrated aromas of black cherry, truffle and shades of pencil lead which lead into an opulent yet well structured wine of impressive complexity. Flavours here straddle both old world and new with boysenberry, anise and dark chocolate hints. The mouth-feel is all velvet with long, lingering tannins.

Cellaring:
While friendly and approachable now; the structure of this wine will allow it to develop gracefully for 10+ years.
