Echo Bay Synoptic This is Echo Bay’s signature red blend, and best represent’s the winery’s expression of its season. This is a bold, Medium bodied blend of Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Carménère, and Petit Verdot. The symbols of the vineyard come from synoptic weather charts, where each symbol represents a state or change in weather conditions. These expressions of time, place, and weather come to shape each growing and the wine produced, so this wine acts as the flagship torch-bearer of the vineyard’s work throughout the seasons. #barbararestaurant #vancouverrestaurant #bcwines #chinatownvancouver #barbaravancouver
