Spectacularly juicy and savoury! This iconic Niagara red wine is crafted by the master producers of the Baco Noir genre: Henry of Pelham. Aromas of fleshy black plums and dark berries with a smoky weave throughout. Pair with grilled meats and happiness.

Baco Noir food pairings: venison, lamb or steak, spicy pasta dishes with rich tomato sauces.

Monique Sosa - Accredited Sommelier rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

Blueberry and spice and everything nice! Big juicy blueberry, black plum, cassis, allspice and anise flavours shine through in this Baco. A delicious, balanced, well-crafted hybrid red by the Speck Brothers. Enjoy with pork tenderloin roast. Tasted July 2017 by @sommsosa | bespoketastings.ca
Jon Steeves - Sommelier rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

Well-balanced medium bodied Niagara Baco. Prominent dark plum, anise, blueberry, savoury. Chewy mouthfeel. Pair with balsamic drizzled baked chicken, or spicy ratatouille. Tasted 2016 vintage in July 2017. 91 points. BespokeTastings
