Reviews and Ratings

Leanne rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Very smooth red.
The palette here refers to the blending mastery of winemaker J-P Colas in combining 45% Merlot, 40% Gamay, 9% Pinot Noir, 4% Cabernets (Sauvignon and Franc) and 2% Syrah from Niagara vineyards to create this expressive red. Notes of red and sour cherry, plum, wild raspberry, cocoa and sweet spice introduce a bright, structured wine with sinewy tannins and a slightly wild edge to the fruit. A great food wine.

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.
