Natalie's Score: 87/100

Wildass Red can be a combination of several grapes including Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Merlot, Syrah and Tannat, but the benchmark of the blend is a consistently fruit-forward, bright and savoury red wine with ripe tannins and a vibrant finish. Look for bright red cherry, plum, raspberry, savoury herb and soft spicy flavours on this vintage.

Reviews and Ratings

From Stratus Vineyards in the Niagara-on-the-Lake wine region, Wildass Red 2018 is a full-bodied, fruity red that can be a combination of several red wine varietals, from Cabernet Sauvignon, Franc, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Syrah. Bright and savoury, this vintage is an easy-to-love red wine blend with rounded tannins. Pour with grilled sausages, burgers and tourtière. - Community Wine Reviews
