A supple, almost full-bodied red wine blend of Cabernet and Merlot grapes from Niagara. Attractive aromas of dark berries and plums and some toasty oak. Pair with grilled chicken.

Reviews and Ratings

Donna Hargrove rated this wine as 94/100 with the following review:

This Niagara Cab-Merlot blend is very smooth in all aspects - nose, taste and finish. With floral aromas and deep red fruit on the tongue, this wine would pair nicely with 'smelly' cheeses and lamb or game meats.
Douglas McMillan rated this wine as 86/100 with the following review:

sweet red and sour cherries and a little black pepper and spice. The taste is has a nice balanced tartness to it and a silky mouth feel. A great wne for turkey and cranberry sauce.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
