Natalie's Score: 90/100

A juicy, succulent, medium-plus-bodied Niagara red wine blend of mostly Merlot with Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot grapes. About 15% of the grapes were dried for four months in appassimento style and the fermented wine spent 16 months in French, American and Hungarian oak barrels. Lush layers of dried fruit, ripe dark cherries, blackberry, cake spice and dried tobacco leaf fill the palate balanced with vibrant acidity for food. Tannins are firm. Cellar for three years or decant and pour with a dark chocolate mousse or chicken mole.

Food pairings: smoky game burgers, beef steak, rack of lamb, smoked cheeses.
