"The wine is rich and full-bodied with spicy aromas of plum. There is pure, sweet fruit on the mid-palate with savoury notes on the finish."
95 points, John Schreiner

"End Game displays a deep ruby colour, and the nose offers mocha, Spanish cedar box, plum, Christmas cake, and sweet pipe tobacco. Harmony, texture, and expressive, three descriptors for this beautiful expression of southern Okanagan ‘bench’ Merlot."
94 points, Matt Steeves, Quercus Vino
