Natalie's Score: 94/100

From Niagara-on-the-Lake wine region, Stratus 2019 is a fragrant and full-bodied red wine blend produced from sustainably grown Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petite Verdot, Tannat and Syrah. Fragrant with red berry, dried tobacco leaf and pink florals, the wine is dry, medium-bodied, smoky and spicy with ripe dark fruits, earthy florals, black plum, dried sweet tobacco leaf with a titch of dark chocolate long and savoury on the palate. The wine spent over 20 months in oak barrels (6% new). Drink or hold. This vintage was awarded Silver at the 2022 National Wine Awards of Canada.

Red food pairings: grilled steaks, roast pheasant, rabbit fricassee.

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.
