Tawse Winery Inc. Méritage 2011, V.Q.A., Niagara Peninsula, Ontario, Canada: The 2011 was a tough vintage for Niagara, and for this Meritage from Tawse, which has performed better in previous vintages. Perhaps with some cellar time and decanting it will open up, but it smells a little reduced right now. This is a blend of 32% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot, 32% Cabernet Franc grapes, and is aged 18 months in small French oak barrels. Some notes of dark fruit and toasty oak.
