Deep ruby coloured wine with a pronounced aroma of dark fruit, cherry and plum, vanilla, sweet spice and violet. The wine is dry, balanced and with well integrated tannins. Tastes are of black plum and black cherry, with sweet spice and vanilla. It paired well with local pork sausage from Arc Acres Farm and typical cheese for tapas- Manchego and Iberico. The wine is also very pleasant when drunk on its own. This wine is very good value.

Another excellent wine from the Niagara College Teaching Winery. The fruit for this wine was sourced from the Westcott Vineyard on Vinemount Ridge, a blend of the Burgundy clones 777 and 667. The fruit was allowed to ferment spontaneously, aged for 14 months in French oak barrels, then bottled by hand with no fining or filtration. The result is a medium ruby wine with a strong aroma of red cherries, strawberries, raspberries, a hint of sweet spice (nutmeg), with some forest floor, a floral note and vanilla. In the mouth the red fruits repeat, along with spice and vanilla. Tannins are firm but delicate and the acidity makes it very food friendly. The wine is dry, medium bodied and well suited to beef and mushroom dishes or grilled salmon. It is also a pleasant sipper on its own.
