Reviews and Ratings

Heather Wall - CS; WSET Advanced rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Medium-bodied and smooth Niagara Cab/Merlot blend.Succulent cherry, strawberry, violets, leather and sweet cigar box. Fresh cool climate acidity lends balance and the finish is long with a lingering sweetness. I enjoyed this Niagara wine very much. Pair with your choice of red meat or take a risk this holiday weekend and try it turkey dinner complete with cranberry stuffing and jelly.
Tasted: April 2017
You can drink wonderful Bordeaux style Cabernet Merlot and play golf at the same time at Twenty Mile Bench's Rockway Vineyards (2013). Rockway Glen Estate Winery Inc. is home to a great golf course as well as great wines. Pair with gourmet burgers. - Community Wine Reviews
