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

Monique Sosa 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
