Reviews and Ratings

The 2011 vintage had a cool, rainy start offering good soil moisture. Record July
heat levels brought the growing season back on track. The grapes for this classic variety were picked from 3 different vineyards from three different sub-appellations in the Niagara Peninsula. The juices were kept separate and allowed to cold settle before inoculating with select strains of yeast and transferring to French oak with a small percentage going to American oak and aged for nine months.
